Sophia
A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.
It comprises the following crates:
- Core crates:
sophia_api
defines a generic API for RDF and linked data, as a set of core traits and types; more precisely, it provides traits for describing- terms, triples and quads,
- graphs and datasets,
- parsers and serializers
sophia_iri
provides functions, types and traits for validating and resolving IRIs.sophia_term
defines various implementations of theTerm
trait fromsophia_api
.sophia_inmem
defines in-memory implementations of theGraph
andDataset
traits fromsophia_api
.
- Parsers and serializers
sophia_turtle
provides parsers and serializers for the Turtle-family of concrete syntaxes.sophia_jsonld
provides parsers and serializers for JSON-LD.sophia_xml
provides parsers and serializers for RDF/XML.sophia_rio
is a lower-level crate, used by the ones above.
- Other
sophia_c14n
implements RDF canonicalization.sophia_isomorphism
provides functions to determine if two graphs or datasets are isomorphic.- [
sophia_sparql
] provides a (currently partial) implementation of the SPARQL 1.1 Query Language. sophia_sparql_client
provides a client for the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol.sophia_resource
provides a resource-centric API.
- All-inclusive
sophia
re-exports symbols from all the crates above, with the following provisio:sophia_jsonld
is only available with thejsonld
featuresophia_sparql
is only available with thesparql
featuresophia_sparql_client
is only available with thehttp_client
featuresophia_xml
is only available with thexml
feature
In addition to the API documentation, a high-level user documentation is available (although not quite complete yet).
