Sophia

A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

Actions Status Latest Version Documentation

It comprises the following 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_inmem defines in-memory implementations of the Graph and Dataset traits from sophia_api.
  • sophia_term defines various implementations of the Term trait from sophia_api.
  • sophia_turtle provides parsers and serializers for the Turtle-family of concrete syntaxes.
  • sophia_xml provides parsers and serializers for RDF/XML.
  • sophia_jsonld provides preliminary support for JSON-LD.
  • sophia_c14n implements RDF canonicalization.
  • sophia_resource provides a resource-centric API.
  • sophia_rio is a lower-level crate, used by the ones above.

and finally:

  • sophia is the “all-inclusive” crate, re-exporting symbols from all the crates above. (actually, sophia_xml is only available if the xml feature is enabled)

In addition to the API documentation, a high-level user documentation is available (although not quite complete yet).
