DESCRIPTION
The Raptor library provides a high-level interface to a set of parsers
and serializers that generate Resource Description Framework (RDF)
triples by parsing syntaxes or serialize the triples into syntaxes.
The supported parsing syntaxes include RDF/XML, N-Triples, Turtle,
TRiG, RSS tag soup (including all RSS and Atoms), GRDDL, RDFa and the
serializing syntaxes include RDF/XML (3 varieties), N-Triples, Turtle,
RSS 1.0, Atom 1.0, GraphViz DOT and RDF/JSON. The RDF/XML parser can
use either expat or libxml XML parsers for providing the SAX event
stream. The library functions are arranged in an object-oriented style
with constructors, destructors and method calls. The statements and
error messages are delivered via callback functions.
Raptor contains a URI-reference parsing and resolving (not retrieval)
class (raptor_uri) sufficient for dealing with URI-references inside
RDF. This functionality is modular and can be transparently replaced
with another existing and compatible URI implementation.
It also provides a URI-retrieval class (raptor_www) for wrapping
existing library such as libcurl, libxml2 or BSD libfetch that provides
full or partial retrieval of data from URIs and an I/O stream
abstraction (raptor_iostream) for supportin serializing to a variety of
outputs.
Raptor uses Unicode strings for RDF literals and URIs and preserves
them throughout the library. It uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode at
the API for passing in or returning Unicode strings. It is intended
that the preservation of Unicode for URIs will support
Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) which are still under
development and standardisation.
LIBRARY INITIALISATION AND CLEANUP
raptor_init()
raptor_finish()
Initialise and cleanup the library. These must be called before
any raptor class such as raptor_parser, raptor_uri is created or
used. Note: as of 1.4.19 these are wrappers around a static
instance of the new raptor_world class. In Raptor 2.0 this
initialisation and cleanup method will be removed.
void raptor_set_libxslt_security_preferences(void
*security_preferences)
Set libxslt security preferences object.
void raptor_set_libxml_flags(int flags)
Set libxml flags from the choices:
RAPTOR_LIBXML_FLAGS_GENERIC_ERROR_SAVE: save/restore the libxml
generic error handler when parsing and
RAPTOR_LIBXML_FLAGS_STRUCTURED_ERROR_SAVE: save/restore the
libxml structured error handler when parsing.
PARSER CLASS
This class provides the functionality of turning syntaxes into RDF
triples - RDF parsing.
PARSER CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_parser* raptor_new_parser(name)
Create a new raptor parser object for the parser with name name
currently either "rdfxml", "turtle" or "rss-tag-soup" for the
RSS Tag Soup parser.
raptor_parser* raptor_new_parser_for_content(raptor_uri *uri, const
char *mime_type, const unsigned char *buffer, size_t len, const
unsigned char *identifier)
Create a new raptor parser object for a syntax identified by URI
uri, MIME type mime_type, some initial content buffer of size
len or content with identifier identifier. See the
raptor_guess_parser_name description for further details.
PARSER DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_parser(raptor_parser *parser)
Destroy a Raptor parser object.
PARSER MESSAGE CALLBACK METHODS
Several methods can be registered for the parser that return a
variable-argument message in the style of printf(3). These also return
a raptor_locator that can contain URI, file, line, column and byte
counts of where the message is about. This structure can be used with
the raptor_format_locator, raptor_print_locator functions below or the
structures fields directly, which are defined in raptor.h
void raptor_set_fatal_error_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void
*user_data, raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser fatal error handler callback.
void raptor_set_error_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser non-fatal error handler callback.
void raptor_set_warning_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser warning message handler callback.
raptor_set_namespace_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void* user_data,
raptor_namespace_handler handler)
Set the namespace declaration handler callback.
PARSER STATEMENT CALLBACK METHOD
The parser allows the registration of a callback function to return the
statements to the application.
void raptor_set_statement_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void
*user_data, raptor_statement_handler handler)
Set the statement callback function for the parser. The
raptor_statement structure is defined in raptor.h and includes
fields for the subject, predicate, object of the statements
along with their types and for literals, language and datatype.
PARSER PARSING METHODS
These methods perform the entire parsing in one method. Statements
warnings, errors and fatal errors are delivered via the registered
statement, error etc. handler functions.
In both of these methods, the base URI is required for the RDF/XML
parser (name "rdfxml") and Turtle parser (name "turtle"). The N-
Triples parser (name "ntriples") or RSS Tag Soup parser (name "rss-tag-
soup") do not use this.
int raptor_parse_file(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_uri *uri,
raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the given filename (a URI like file:filename) according to
the optional base URI base_uri. If uri is NULL, read from
standard input and base_uri is then required.
int raptor_parse_file_stream(raptor_parser* parser, FILE* stream, const
char* filename, raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the given C FILE* stream according to the base URI
base_uri (required). filename is optional and if given, is used
for error messages via the raptor_locator structure.
int raptor_parse_uri(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_uri* uri,
raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the URI according to the base URI base_uri, or NULL if not
needed. If no base URI is given, the uri is used. This method
depends on the raptor_www subsystem (see WWW Class section
below) and an existing underlying URI retrieval implementation
such as libcurl, libxml or BSD libfetch to retrieve the content.
PARSER CHUNKED PARSING METHODS
These methods perform the parsing in parts by working on multiple
chunks of memory passed by the application. Statements warnings,
errors and fatal errors are delivered via the registered statement,
error etc. handler functions.
int raptor_start_parse(raptor_parser* parser, const char *uri)
Start a parse of chunked content with the base URI uri or NULL
if not needed. The base URI is required for the RDF/XML parser
(name "rdfxml") and Turtle parser (name "turtle"). The N-
Triples parser (name "ntriples") or RSS Tag Soup parser (name
"rss-tag-soup") do not use this.
int raptor_parse_chunk(raptor_parser* parser, const unsigned char
*buffer, size_t len, int is_end)
Parse the memory at buffer of size len returning statements via
the statement handler callback. If is_end is non-zero, it
indicates the end of the parsing stream. This method can only
be called after raptor_start_parse().
PARSER UTILITY METHODS
const char* raptor_get_mime_type(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Return the MIME type for the parser.
void raptor_set_parser_strict(raptor_parser *parser, int is_strict)
Set the parser to strict (is_strict not zero) or lax (default)
mode. The detail of the strictness can be controlled by
raptor_set_feature.
int raptor_set_feature(raptor_parser *parser, raptor_feature feature,
int value)
Set a parser feature feature to a particular value. Returns non
0 on failure or if the feature is unknown. The current defined
parser features are:
Feature Values
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_BAGID Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_NON_NS_ATTRIBUTES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_OTHER_PARSETYPES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_RDF_TYPE_RDF_LIST Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ASSUME_IS_RDF Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_CHECK_RDF_ID Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_HTML_LINK Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_HTML_TAG_SOUP Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_MICROFORMATS Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NON_NFC_FATAL Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NORMALIZE_LANGUAGE Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NO_NET Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RELATIVE_URIS Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_SCANNING Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WARN_OTHER_PARSETYPES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_TIMEOUT Integer
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_HTTP_USER_AGENT String
If the allow_bagid feature is true (default true) then the RDF/XML
parser will support the rdf:bagID attribute that was removed from the
RDF/XML language when it was revised. This support may be removed in
future.
If the allow_non_ns_attributes feature is true (default true), then the
RDF/XML parser will allow non-XML namespaced attributes to be accepted
as well as rdf: namespaced ones. For example, 'about' and 'ID' will be
interpreted as if they were rdf:about and rdf:ID respectively.
If the allow_other_parsetypes feature is true (default true) then the
RDF/XML parser will allow unknown parsetypes to be present and will
pass them on to the user. Unimplemented at present.
If the allow_rdf_type_rdf_list feature is true (default false) then the
RDF/XML parser will generate the idList rdf:type rdf:List triple in the
handling of rdf:parseType="Collection". This triple was removed during
the revising of RDF/XML after collections were initially added.
If the assume_is_rdf feature is true (default false), then the RDF/XML
parser will assume the content is RDF/XML, not require that rdf:RDF
root element, and immediately interpret the content as RDF/XML.
If the check_rdf_id feature is true (default true) then rdf:ID values
will be checked for duplicates and cause an error if found.
if the html_link feature is true (default true), look for head
<link> to type rdf/xml for GRDDL parser
If the html_tag_soup feature is true (default true), use a lax HTML
parser if an XML parser fails when read HTML for GRDDL parser.
If the microformats feature is true (default true), look for
microformats for GRDDL parser.
If the non_nfc_fatal feature is true (default false) then illegal
Unicode Normal Form C in literals will give a fatal error, otherwise it
gives a warning.
If the normalize_language feature is true (default true) then XML
language values such as from xml:lang will be normalized to lowercase.
If the no_net feature is true (default false) then network requests are
denied.
If the scanning feature is true (default false), then the RDF/XML
parser will look for embedded rdf:RDF elements inside the XML content,
and not require that the XML start with an rdf:RDF root element.
If the www_timeout feature is set to an integer larger than 0, it sets
the timeout in seconds for internal WWW URI requests for the GRDDL
parser.
If the www_http_cache_control feature is set to a string value (default
none), it is sent as the value of the HTTP Cache-Control: header in
requests.
If the www_http_user_agent feature is set to a string value, it is sent
as the value of the HTTP User-Agent: header in requests.
raptor_parser_set_feature_string(raptor_parser *parser, raptor_feature
feature, const unsigned char *value)
Set a parser feature feature to a particular string value.
Returns non 0 on failure or if the feature is unknown. The
current defined parser features are given in raptor_set_feature
and at present only take integer values. If an integer value
feature is set with this function, value is interpreted as an
integer and then that value is used.
int raptor_get_feature(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_feature feature)
Get parser feature integer values. The allowed feature values
and types are given under raptor_features_enumerate.
const unsigned char* raptor_parser_get_feature_string(raptor_parser
*parser, raptor_feature feature)
Get parser feature string values. The allowed feature values and
types are given under raptor_features_enumerate.
unsigned int raptor_get_feature_count(void)
Get the count of features defined. Prefered to the compile
time-only symbol RAPTOR_FEATURE_LAST which returns the maximum
value, not the count. Added raptor_get_need_base_uri
int raptor_feature_value_type(const raptor_feature feature)
Get a raptor feature value tyype - integer or string.
raptor_locator* raptor_get_locator(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Return the current raptor_locator object for the parser. This
is a public structure defined in raptor.h that can be used
directly, or formatted via raptor_print_locator.
void raptor_get_name(raptor_parser *parser)
Return the string short name for the parser.
void raptor_get_label(raptor_parser *parser)
Return a string label for the parser.
void raptor_set_default_generate_id_parameters(raptor_parser*
rdf_parser, char *prefix, int base)
Control the default method for generation of IDs for blank nodes
and bags. The method uses a short string prefix and an integer
base to generate the identifier which is not guaranteed to be a
strict concatenation. If prefix is NULL, the default is used.
If base is less than 1, it is initialised to 1.
void raptor_set_generate_id_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void
*user_data, raptor_generate_id_handler handler)
Allow full customisation of the generated IDs by setting a
callback handler and associated user_data that is called
whenever a blank node or bag identifier is required. The memory
returned is deallocated inside raptor. Some systems require
this to be allocated inside the same library, in which case the
raptor_alloc_memory function may be useful.
void raptor_parser_set_uri_filter(raptor_parser* parser,
raptor_uri_filter_func filter, void* user_data)
Set the URI filter function filter for URIs retrieved during
parsing by the the raptor_parser.
int raptor_get_need_base_uri(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Get a boolean whether this parser needs a base URI to start
parsing.
unsigned char* raptor_parser_generate_id(raptor_parser* rdf_parser,
raptor_genid_type type)
Generate an ID for a parser of type type, either
RAPTOR_GENID_TYPE_BNODEID or RAPTOR_GENID_TYPE_BAGID. This uses
any configuration set by raptor_set_generate_id_handler.
void raptor_set_graph_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void* user_data,
raptor_graph_handler handler)
Set the graph handler callback.
raptor_world* raptor_parser_get_world(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Get the world object for the given rdf_parser.
PARSER UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_parsers_enumerate(const unsigned int counter, const char
**name, const char **label)
Return the parser name/label for a parser with a given integer
counter, returning non-zero if no such parser at that offset
exists. The counter should start from 0 and be incremented by 1
until the function returns non-zero.
int raptor_syntaxes_enumerate(const unsigned int counter, const char
**name, const char **label, const char **mime_type, const unsigned char
**uri-string)
Return the name, label, mime type or URI string (all optional)
for a parser syntax with a given integer counter, returning non-
zero if no such syntax parser at that offset exists. The
counter should start from 0 and be incremented by 1 until the
function returns non-zero.
int raptor_features_enumerate(const raptor_feature feature, const char
**name, raptor_uri **uri, const char **label)
Return the name, URI, string label (all optional) for a parser
feature, returning non-zero if no such feature exists.
Raptor features have URIs that are constructed from the URI
http://feature.librdf.org/raptor- and the name so for example feature
scanForRDF has URI http://feature.librdf.org/raptor-scanForRDF
int raptor_syntax_name_check(const char *name)
Check name is a known syntax name.
const char* raptor_guess_parser_name(raptor_uri *uri, const char
*mime_type, const unsigned char *buffer, size_t len, const unsigned
char *identifier)
Guess a parser name for a syntax identified by URI uri, MIME
type mime_type, some initial content buffer of size len or with
content identifier identifier. All of these parameters are
optional and only used if not NULL. The parser is chosen by
scoring the hints that are given.
raptor_feature raptor_feature_from_uri(raptor_uri *uri)
Turn a URI uri into a raptor feature identifier, or <0 if the
feature is unknown. The URIs are described below
raptor_set_feature.
STATEMENT UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_statement_compare(const raptor_statement *s1, const
raptor_statement *s2)
Compare two statements and return an ordering between them.
void raptor_print_statement(const raptor_statement* const statement,
FILE *stream)
Print a raptor statement object in a simple format for debugging
only. The format of this output is not guaranteed to remain the
same between releases.
void raptor_print_statement_as_ntriples(const raptor_statement*
statement, FILE *stream)
Print a raptor statement object in N-Triples format, using all
the escapes as defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-
testcases/#ntriples
<http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples>
raptor_statement_part_as_counted_string(const void *term,
raptor_identifier_type type, raptor_uri* literal_datatype, const
unsigned char *literal_language, size_t* len_p)
char* raptor_statement_part_as_string(const void *term,
raptor_identifier_type type, raptor_uri* literal_datatype, const
unsigned char *literal_language)
Turns part of raptor statement into N-Triples format, using all
the escapes as defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-
testcases/#ntriples
<http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples> The part
(subject, predicate, object) of the raptor_statement is passed
in as term, the part type (subject_type, predicate_type,
object_type) is passed in as type. When the part is a literal,
the literal_datatype and literal_language fields are set,
otherwise NULL (usually object_datatype,
object_literal_language).
If raptor_statement_part_as_counted_string is used, the length
of the returned string is stored in *len_p if not NULL.
LOCATOR UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_format_locator(char *buffer, size_t length, raptor_locator*
locator)
This method takes a raptor_locator object as passed to an error,
warning or other handler callback and formats it into the buffer
of size length bytes. If buffer is NULL or length is
insufficient for the size of the formatted locator, returns the
number of additional bytes required in the buffer to write the
locator.
In particular, if this form is used:
length=raptor_format_locator(NULL, 0, locator) it will return
in length the size of a buffer that can be allocated for locator
and a second call will perform the formatting:
raptor_format_locator(buffer, length, locator)
void raptor_print_locator(FILE *stream, raptor_locator* locator)
This method takes a raptor_locator object as passed to an error,
warning or other handler callback, formats and prints it to the
given stdio stream.
int raptor_locator_line(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the line number in a locator structure or <0 if not
available.
int raptor_locator_column(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the column number in a locator structure or <0 if not
available.
int raptor_locator_byte(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the byte offset in a locator structure or <0 if not
available.
const char * raptor_locator_file(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the filename in a locator structure or NULL if not
available. Note the returned pointer is to a shared string that
must be copied if needed.
const char * raptor_locator_uri(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the URI string in a locator structure or NULL if not
available. Note this does not return a raptor_uri* pointer and
the returned pointer is to a shared string that must be copied
if needed.
N-TRIPLES UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_print_ntriples_string(FILE* stream, const char* string,
const char delim)
This is a standalone function that prints the given string
according to N-Triples escaping rules, expecting to be
terminated by delimiter delim which is usually either ', " or <.
If a null delimiter \0 is given, no extra escaping is performed.
int raptor_iostream_write_string_ntriples(raptor_iostream *iostr, const
unsigned char *string, size_t len, const char delim)
Write an N-Triples encoded version of the given string to
iostream iostr. If delim is given, that is the ending delimeter
of the encoded string and it will be escaped in the output as
appropriate. Useful delim values are ', " and >. If a null
delimiter \0 is given, no extra escaping is performed.
int raptor_iostream_write_string_python(raptor_iostream *iostr, const
unsigned char *string, size_t len, const char delim, int flags)
Write string encoded to an iostream according to the delimeter
delim and encoding flags. The flag value selects formatting
according to the appropriate Python-related languages such as N-
Triples (0), Turtle (1), Turtle long quoted string (2), JSON
(3).
void raptor_iostream_write_statement_ntriples(raptor_iostream* iostr,
const raptor_statement *statement)
Write an N-Triples encoded version of the raptor_statement
statement to iostream iostr.
void raptor_iostream_write_string_turtle(raptor_iostream* iostr, const
unsigned char* string, size_t len)

instead. Write an UTF-8 string of length len using the Turtle
"longString" triple quoting format to the iostream iostr.
const char* raptor_ntriples_term_as_string (raptor_ntriples_term_type
term) Deprecated, for internal use.
XML UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_xml_any_escape_string(const unsigned char* string, size_t
len, unsigned char* buffer, size_t length, char quote, int xml_version,
raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void* error_data)
int raptor_xml_escape_string(const unsigned char *string, size_t len,
unsigned char *buffer, size_t length, char quote,
raptor_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Apply the XML escaping rules to the string given in (string,
len) into the buffer of size length. If quote is given, the
escaped content is for an XML attribute and the appropriate
quote character XML element content (CDATA). The error_handler
method along with error_data allow error reporting to be given.
If buffer is NULL, returns the size of the buffer required to
escape. Otherwise the return value is the number of bytes used
or <0 on failure.
When an xml_version argument is present and has a value 10 (XML
1.0) or 11 (XML 1.1) then that version is used. The default
with no argument is to generate XML 1.0.
int raptor_iostream_write_xml_any_escaped_string(raptor_iostream*
iostr, const unsigned char* string, size_t len, char quote, int
xml_version, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void*
error_data)
int raptor_iostream_write_xml_escaped_string(raptor_iostream* iostr,
const unsigned char *string, size_t len, char quote,
raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Write an XML-escaped version of the string given in (string,
len) to iostream iostr. If quote is given, the escaped content
is for an XML attribute and the appropriate quote character is
used, otherwise it is XML element content (CDATA). The
error_handler method along with error_data allow error reporting
to be given.
When an xml_version argument is present and has a value 10 (XML
1.0) or 11 (XML 1.1) then that version is used. The default
with no argument is to generate XML 1.0.
int raptor_xml_name_check(const unsigned char *string, size_t length,
int xml_version)
Check that the given string of length bytes is a legal XML name
according to XML 1.0 or XML 1.1. xml_version is set to 10 or 11
respectively. Returns non-zero if the name is legal.
MEMORY UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_free_memory(void *ptr)
Free memory allocated inside raptor. Some systems require
memory allocated in a library to be deallocated inside that
library. This function can be used in that situation to free
memory allocated by raptor, such as the result of the _to_
methods that return allocated memory such as
raptor_uri_to_filename, raptor_uri_to_string,
raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_uri_string,
raptor_uri_to_relative_uri_string or
raptor_new_namespace_parts_from_string.
void* raptor_alloc_memory(size_t size)
Allocate memory inside the raptor library. Some systems require
memory allocated in a library to be deallocated inside that
library. This function can be used in that situation to
allocate memory for raptor to free later, such as inside the
handler function declared with raptor_set_generate_id_handler
which returns new memory.
void* raptor_calloc_memory(size_t nmemb, size_t size)
Allocate zeroed array of items inside raptor. Some systems
require memory allocated in a library to be deallocated inside
that library. This function can be used in that situation to
clear an array of allocated memory for raptor to use, for
freeing later, such as inside the handler function declared with
raptor_set_generate_id_handler which returns new memory.
UNICODE UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_unicode_char_to_utf8(raptor_unichar c, unsigned char
*output)
Turn a Unicode character into UTF8 bytes in output of size c
bytes which must be of sufficient size. Returns the number of
bytes encoded or <0 on failure.
int raptor_utf8_to_unicode_char(raptor_unichar *output, const unsigned
char *input, int length)
Decode a sequence UTF8 bytes in input of size length into a
Unicode character in output returning the number of bytes used
or <0 on failure.
int raptor_utf8_check(const unsigned char *string, size_t length)
Check that a given string is legal UTF-8 encoding and includes
only legal Unicode characters U+0 to U+0x10ffff inclusive.
Returns non-0 if the string is good.
int raptor_unicode_is_xml11_namestartchar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml10_namestartchar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml11_namechar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml10_namechar(raptor-unichar c)
Check that given Unicode characters are allowed as XML 1.0 or
XML 1.0 names - either as the starting character
(*_namestartchar) or continuing character (*_namechar). Returns
non-0 if the character is allowed.
ERROR UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_error_handlers_init(raptor_error_handlers* error_handlers)
Initialise an error_handlers structure after the log level
handlers and user data pointers have been set.

SERIALIZER CLASS
This class provides the functionality of turning RDF triples into
syntaxes - RDF serializing.
SERIALIZER CONSTRUCTOR
raptor_serializer* raptor_new_serializer(const char *name)
Create a new raptor serializer object for the serializer with
name name currently either "rdfxml" or "ntriples". or "rss-1.0"
for the RSS 1.0 serializer.
SERIALIZER DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_serializer(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer)
Destroy a Raptor serializer object.
SERIALIZER SERIALIZING METHODS
int raptor_serialize_start(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer,
raptor_uri *uri, raptor_iostream *iostream)
Start to serialize content using the given iostream to write to
with optional base URI uri. The iostream becomes owned by the
serializer object and is destroyed at the end of serializing
when raptor_serialize_end() is called. Note that some syntaxes
may refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream(raptor_serializer*
rdf_serializer, raptor_uri* uri, raptor_iostream* iostream)
Start to serialize content using the given iostream to write to
with optional base URI uri. The iostream does NOT become owned
by the serializer object and the caller may continue to write to
it after serializing is finished. Note that some syntaxes may
refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_filename(raptor_serializer*
rdf_serializer, const char *filename)
Start to serialize content to the file filename which is opened
for writing. The base URI is calculated from the file name.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_string(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer,
raptor_uri *uri, void **string_p, size_t *length_p)
Start to serialize content to a string. string_p must point to
a void* pointer that will be used at the end of serializing to
store the newly allocated string. length_p if not NULL, it will
be used to store the length of the new string. The serializing
is done with optional base URI uri however some syntaxes may
refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handle(raptor_serializer*
rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, FILE *handle)
Start to serialize content to the already open C Standard I/O
FILE* handle with the base URI uri, which is optional and may be
NULL. Note that some syntaxes may refuse to serialize without a
base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_statement(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, const
raptor_statement *statement)
Serialize a single statement using the serializer.
int raptor_serialize_end(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer)
End the serializing. This may close and delete resources used
in serializing. No more calls to raptor_serialize_statement or
raptor_serialize_end may be done at this point.
raptor_iostream* raptor_serializer_get_iostream(raptor_serializer
*serializer)
Return a pointer to the raptor_iostream* used by the serializer.
int raptor_serializer_set_namespace(raptor_serializer* serializer,
raptor_uri *uri, const char *prefix)

rdf_serializer)
Return the current raptor_locator object for the serializer.
This is a public structure defined in raptor.h that can be used
directly, or formatted via raptor_print_locator.
int raptor_serializer_set_feature(raptor_serializer *serializer,
raptor_feature feature, int value)
Set a serializer feature feature to a particular value. Returns
non 0 on failure or if the feature is unknown. The current

RAPTOR_FEATURE_RSS_TRIPLES String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ATOM_ENTRY_URI String
If the relative_uris feature is true (default false) then when
serialising, preference is given to generating relative URIs where
possible.
If the write_base_uri feature is true (default true) then the atom,
rdfxml, rdfxml-abbrev and turtle serializers will write an @base or
xml:base directive in the output.
If the start_uri feature is set to a URI it is used by the serializer
to start serializing from.
If the bnode_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the
bnode border colour.
If the bnode_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the
bnode fill colour.
If the json_callback feature is set, the JSON serializers use it as the
name of the callback to wrap the outer JSON object.
If the json_extra_data feature is set, the JSON serializers use it as
extra data inside the outer JSON object.
If the literal_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the
literal border colour.
If the literal_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the
literal fill colour.
If the resource_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as
the resource border colour.
If the resource_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the
resource fill colour.
If the rss_triples feature is set to the string "rdf-xml" for the
rss-1.0 serializer or "atom-triples" for the atom serializer, it writes
extra rdf triples into the serialized output.
If the atom_entry_uri feature is set to a URI string, it is used to
trigger generation of an atom entry document for the atom serializer.

raptor_feature feature)
Get serializer features, the allowed feature values are
available
raptor_world* raptor_serializer_get_world(raptor_serializer*

int raptor_serializer_syntax_name_check(const char *name)
Check name is a known serializer syntax name.
URI CLASS
Raptor has a raptor_uri class must be used for manipulating and passing
URI references. The default internal implementation uses char* strings
for URIs, manipulating them and constructing them. This URI
implementation can be replaced by any other that provides the
equivalent functionality, using the raptor_uri_set_handler function.
URI CONSTRUCTORS
There a several constructors for raptor_uri to build them from char*
strings and existing raptor_uri objects.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference uri_string.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_from_uri_local_name(raptor_uri* uri, const
unsigned char* local_name)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference local_name
relative to an existing URI-reference. This performs
concatenation of the local_name to the uri and not relative URI
resolution, which is done by the raptor_new_uri_relative_to_base
constructor.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_relative_to_base(raptor_uri* base_uri, const
unsigned char* uri_string)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference uri_string using
relative URI resolution to the base_uri.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_from_id(raptor_uri* base_uri, const unsigned
char* id)
Create a raptor URI from a string RDF ID id concatenated to the
base_uri base URI.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_for_rdf_concept(const char* name)
Create a raptor URI for the RDF namespace concept name.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_for_xmlbase(raptor_uri* old_uri))
Create a raptor URI suitable for use with xml:base (throw away
fragment)
URI DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_uri(raptor_uri* uri)
Destroy a raptor URI object.
URI METHODS
int raptor_uri_equals(raptor_uri* uri1, raptor_uri* uri2)
Return non-zero if the given URIs are equal.
raptor_uri* raptor_uri_copy(raptor_uri* uri)
Return a copy of the given raptor URI uri.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_as_counted_string(raptor_uri *uri, size_t*
len_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_as_string(raptor_uri* uri)
Return a shared pointer to a string representation of the given
raptor URI uri. This string is shared and must not be freed
(otherwise see the raptor_uri_to_* methods below). If
raptor_uri_as_counted_string is used, the length of the returned
string is stored in *len_p if not NULL.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_counted_string(raptor_uri *uri, size_t
*len_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_string(raptor_uri *uri)
Return a to a newly alloced string representation of the given
raptor URI uri. This string must be freed by the caller using
raptor_free_memory. If raptor_uri_to_counted_string is used,
the length of the returned string is stored in *len_p if not
NULL.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_uri_string(raptor_uri
*base_uri, raptor_uri *reference_uri, size_t *length_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_relative_uri_string(raptor_uri *base_uri,
raptor_uri *reference_uri)
Return a new relative URI string of a URI reference_uri against
a base URI base_uri. The returned string must be freed with
raptor_free_memory. If raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_string is
used, the length of the returned string is stored in *len_p if
not NULL.
void raptor_uri_print(const raptor_uri* uri, FILE *stream)
Print URI uri to the file handle stream.
int raptor_iostream_write_uri(raptor_iostream* iostr, raptor_uri* uri)
Write the raptor_uri uri to the iostream ostr.
URI UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_uri_resolve_uri_reference (const unsigned char* base_uri,
const unsigned char* reference_uri, char unsigned* buffer, size_t
length)
This is a standalone function that resolves the relative URI
reference_uri against the base URI base_uri according to the URI
resolution rules in RFC2396. The resulting URI is stored in
buffer which is of length bytes. If this is too small, no work
will be done.
char *raptor_uri_filename_to_uri_string(const unsigned char* filename)
This is a standalone function that turns a local filename
(Windows or Unix style as appropriate for platform) into a URI
string (file).
The returned string must be freed by the caller. Some systems
require memory allocated in a library to be deallocated inside
that library in which case raptor_free_memory may be used.
char *raptor_uri_uri_string_to_filename(const unsigned char*
uri_string)
char *raptor_uri_uri_string_to_filename(const unsigned char*
uri_string, unsigned char **fragment_p)
These are standalone functions that turn a URI string that
represents a local filename (file:) into a filename, with
optional URI fragment. If fragment_p is not NULL it points to
the location to store a newly allocated string containing the
fragment. The returned strings must be freed by the caller.
Some systems require memory allocated in a library to be
deallocated inside that library in which case raptor_free_memory
may be used.
int raptor_uri_is_file_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
DEPRECATED in 1.4.9. Returns non-zero if the given URI string
represents a filename. Use raptor_uri_uri_string_is_file_uri in
preference.
int raptor_uri_uri_string_is_file_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
Returns non-zero if the given URI string represents a filename.
URI CLASS IMPLEMENTATION
void raptor_uri_set_handler(const raptor_uri_handler *handler, void
*context)

the handler URI implementation. The context user data is passed
in to the handler URI implementation calls.
void raptor_uri_get_handler(raptor_uri_handler **handler, void
**context)
Return the current raptor URI class implementation handler and
context
WWW CLASS
This is a small wrapper class around existing WWW libraries in order to
provide HTTP GET or better URI retrieval for Raptor. It is not
intended to be a general purpose WWW retrieval interface.
WWW CLASS INITIALISATION AND CLEANUP
void raptor_www_init(void)
void raptor_www_finish(void)
Initialise or terminate the raptor_www infrastructure.
raptor_www_init and raptor_finish are called by raptor_init and
raptor_finish respecitively, otherwise must be called once each.
NOTE Several of the WWW library implementations require once-only
initialisation and termination functions to be called, however
raptor cannot determine whether this is already done before the
library is initialised in raptor_www_init or terminated in
raptor_www_finish, so always performs it. This can be changed
by raptor_www_no_www_library_init_finish.
void raptor_www_no_www_library_init_finish(void)
If this is called before raptor_www_init, it will not call the
underlying WWW library global initialise or terminate functions.
The application code must perform both operations.
For example with curl, after this function is called, neither
curl_global_init nor curl_global_cleanup will be called during
raptor_www_init or raptor_www_finish respectively.
WWW CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_www *raptor_www_new(void)
raptor_www *raptor_www_new_with_connection(void* connection)
Create a raptor WWW object capable of URI retrieval. If
connection is given, it must match the connection object of the
underlying WWW implementation. At present, this is only for
libcurl, and allows you to re-use an existing curl handle, or
use one which has been set up with some desired qualities.

empty header is sent.
void raptor_www_set_error_handler(raptor_www *www,
raptor_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Set the error handler routine for the raptor_www class. This
takes the same arguments as the raptor_parser error, warning
handler methods.

filter, void* user_data)
Set the URI filter function filter for URIs retrieved by the
raptor_www object.

void* pointer that will be used to store the newly allocated
string. length_p if not NULL, it will be used to store the
length of the new string.
void raptor_www_abort(raptor_www *www, const char *reason)
Abort an ongoing raptor WWW operation. Typically used within one
of the raptor WWW handlers.
QNAME CLASS
This is a class for handling XML QNames consisting of the pair of (a
URI from a namespace, a local name) along with an optional value --
useful for XML attributes. This is used with the
raptor_namespace_stack and raptor_namespace classes to handle a stack
of raptor_namespace that build on raptor_qname.
QNAME CONSTRUCTORS
There are two constructors for raptor_qname to build qnames with
optional values on a stack of names.
raptor_qname* raptor_new_qname(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, const
unsigned char *name, const unsigned char *value,
raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Create a raptor QName name (a possibly :-separated name) with
name to be resolved against the given nstack namespace stack.
An optional value can be given, and if there is an error, the
error_handler and error_data will be used to invoke the
callback.
raptor_qname* raptor_new_qname_from_namespace_local_name
(raptor_namespace *ns, const unsigned char *local_name, const unsigned
char *value)
Create a raptor QName using the namespace name of the
raptor_namespace ns and the local name local_name, along with
optional value value. Errors are reported using the error
handling and data of the namespace.

Create a raptor QName from an existing one, returning NULL on
failure.
QNAME DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_qname(raptor_qname* name)

raptor_uri* raptor_qname_string_to_uri(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack,
const unsigned char *name, size_t name_len,
raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Return the URI corresponding to the QName according to the RDF
method; concatenating the namespace's name (URI) with the local
name. Takes the same arguments as raptor_new_qname but does not
create a raptor_qname object.
raptor_namespace* raptor_qname_get_namespace(raptor_qname* name)
Return the raptor_namespace used by the QName. Will never be
NULL even for the default namespace in which case the URI of the
returned namespace object will be NULL.
NAMESPACE CLASS
An XML namespace class - each entry is on a stack and consists of a
name (URI) and prefix. The prefix or the name but not both may be
empty. If the prefix is empty, it defines the default prefix. If the
name is empty, it undefines the given prefix.
NAMESPACE CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_namespace* raptor_new_namespace(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack,
const unsigned char *prefix, const unsigned char *ns_uri_string, int
depth)
raptor_namespace* raptor_new_namespace_from_uri(raptor_namespace_stack
*nstack, const unsigned char *prefix, raptor_uri* ns_uri, int depth)
Create a new raptor_namespace object on the given namespace
stack nstack with prefix prefix and namespace name either from
URI string ns_uri_string or from copying URI ns_uri.
If prefix is NULL, it defines the URI for the default namespace prefix.
If the namespace name (ns_uri_string or ns_uri) is NULL, it undefines
the given prefix in the current scope. Both prefix and URI may be NULL
to undefine the default namespace. depth signifies the position of the
namespace on the stack; 0 is the bottom of the stack and generally the
first depth for user namespace declarations.
Namespaces declared on the same depth (such as on the same XML element,
typically) can be handily freed with raptor_namespaces_end_for_depth
method on the namespace stack class.
NAMESPACE DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_namespace(raptor_namespace *ns)
Destroy a raptor namespace object.
NAMESPACE METHODS
raptor_uri* raptor_namespace_get_uri(const raptor_namespace *ns)
Return the namespace name (URI) of the namespace.
const unsigned char* raptor_namespace_get_prefix(const raptor_namespace
*ns) Return the prefix of the namespace.
const unsigned char* raptor_namespace_get_counted_prefix(const

count stored in the variable address length_p if it is not NULL.
unsigned char *raptor_namespaces_format(const raptor_namespace *ns,
size_t *length_p)

returning the length of the resulting string in length_p if it
is not NULL. The string format is suitable for emitting in XML
to declare the namespace.

raptor_namespace *ns)
Write a formatted namespace declaration like xmlns... to an
iostream iostr.
NAMESPACE UTILITY FUNCTIONS

Copy the namespace from the current stack to the new one, nstack
at depth new_depth.
int raptor_new_namespace_parts_from_string(unsigned char *string,
unsigned char **prefix, unsigned char **uri_string)

xmlns="", xmlns="uri", xmlns:prefix="" or xmlns:prefix="uri"
into the strings pointed to by prefix string and a uri_string.
Empty prefixes or namespace names return NULL pointers.
Returned strings must be freed by the caller using
raptor_free_memory.
NAMESPACE STACK CLASS
A stack of raptor_namespace objects where the namespaces on top of the
stack have wider scope and override earlier (lower) namespace
declarations. Intended to match the XML namespace declaring semantics
using xmlns attributes.
NAMESPACE STACK CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_namespace_stack* raptor_new_namespaces(raptor_uri_handler
*uri_handler, void *uri_context, raptor_simple_message_handler
error_handler, void *error_data, int defaults)
int raptor_namespaces_init(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack,
raptor_uri_handler *handler, void *context,
raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data, int
defaults)
Create or initialise a new raptor_namespace_stack object with
the given URI and error handlers. raptor_namespaces_new
allocates new memory for the namespace stack and
raptor_namespaces_init initialises an existing declared nstack,
which could be statically allocated. Note that
raptor_uri_get_handler can be useful to return the current
raptor URI handler/context. The defaults argument describes
which default namespaces are declared in the empty stack. At
present, 0 is none, 1 for just the XML namespace and 2 is for a
typical set of namespaces used for RDF, RDFS, Dublin Core, OWL,
... that may vary over time.
In versions 1.4.16 or newer this returns an integer result,
non-0 on failure.
NAMESPACE STACK DESTRUCTORS
void raptor_free_namespaces(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack)
Destroy a namespace stack object, freeing the nstack (goes with
raptor_new_namespaces).
void raptor_namespaces_clear(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack)
