Sord

Detailed Description

A lightweight RDF model library.

Sord stores RDF (subject object predicate context) quads, where the context may be omitted (to represent triples in the default graph).

Typedef Documentation

SordWorld

typedef struct SordWorldImpl SordWorld

Sord World.

The World represents all library state, including interned strings.

SordModel

typedef struct SordModelImpl SordModel

Sord Model.

A model is an indexed set of Quads (i.e. it can contain several RDF graphs). It may be searched using various patterns depending on which indices are enabled.

SordInserter

typedef struct SordInserterImpl SordInserter

Model Inserter.

An inserter is used for writing statements to a model using the Serd sink interface. This makes it simple to write to a model directly using a SerdReader, or any other code that writes statements to a SerdStatementSink.

SordIter

typedef struct SordIterImpl SordIter

Model Iterator.

SordNode

typedef struct SordNodeImpl SordNode

RDF Node.

A Node is a component of a Quad. Nodes may be URIs, blank nodes, or (in the case of quad objects only) string literals. Literal nodes may have an associate language or datatype (but not both).

SordQuad

typedef const SordNode* SordQuad[4]

Quad of nodes (a statement), or a quad pattern.

Nodes are ordered (S P O G). The ID of the default graph is 0.

Enumeration Type Documentation

SordQuadIndex

enum SordQuadIndex

Index into a SordQuad.

Enumerator
SORD_SUBJECT	Subject.
SORD_PREDICATE	Predicate ("key").
SORD_OBJECT	Object ("value").
SORD_GRAPH	Graph ("context").

SordNodeType

enum SordNodeType

Type of a node.

Enumerator
SORD_URI	URI.
SORD_BLANK	Blank node identifier.
SORD_LITERAL	Literal (string with optional lang or datatype).

SordIndexOption

enum SordIndexOption

Indexing option.

Enumerator
SORD_SPO	Subject, Predicate, Object.
SORD_SOP	Subject, Object, Predicate.
SORD_OPS	Object, Predicate, Subject.
SORD_OSP	Object, Subject, Predicate.
SORD_PSO	Predicate, Subject, Object.
SORD_POS	Predicate, Object, Subject.

Function Documentation

sord_world_new()

SORD_API SordWorld *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_world_new

(

void

)

Create a new Sord World.

It is safe to use multiple worlds in one process, though no data (e.g. nodes) can be shared between worlds, and this should be avoided if possible for performance reasons.

sord_world_free()

SORD_API void sord_world_free

(

SordWorld *SERD_NULLABLE

world

)

Free world.

sord_world_set_error_sink()

SORD_API void sord_world_set_error_sink	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		SerdErrorSink SERD_NULLABLE	error_sink,
		void *SERD_UNSPECIFIED	handle )

Set a function to be called when errors occur.

The error_sink will be called with handle as its first argument. If no error function is set, errors are printed to stderr.

sord_new_uri()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_new_uri	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL	uri )

Get a URI node from a string.

Note this function measures str, which is a common bottleneck. Use sord_node_from_serd_node() instead if str is already measured.

sord_new_relative_uri()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_new_relative_uri	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL	uri,
		const uint8_t *SERD_NULLABLE	base_uri )

Get a URI node from a relative URI string.

sord_new_blank()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_new_blank	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL	str )

Get a blank node from a string.

Note this function measures str, which is a common bottleneck. Use sord_node_from_serd_node() instead if str is already measured.

sord_new_literal()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_new_literal	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE	datatype,
		const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL	str,
		const char *SERD_NULLABLE	lang )

Get a literal node from a string.

Note this function measures str, which is a common bottleneck. Use sord_node_from_serd_node() instead if str is already measured.

sord_node_copy()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_ALLOCATED sord_node_copy

(

const SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE

node

)

Copy a node (obtain a reference).

Node that since nodes are interned and reference counted, this does not actually create a deep copy of node.

sord_node_free()

SORD_API void sord_node_free	(	SordWorld *SERD_NONNULL	world,
		SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE	node )

Free a node (drop a reference).

sord_node_get_type()

SORD_API SordNodeType sord_node_get_type

(

const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL

node

)

Return the type of a node (SORD_URI, SORD_BLANK, or SORD_LITERAL).

sord_node_get_string()

SORD_API const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL sord_node_get_string

(

const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL

node

)

Return the string value of a node.

sord_node_get_string_counted()

SORD_API const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL sord_node_get_string_counted	(	const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL	node,
		size_t *SERD_NONNULL	bytes )

Return the string value of a node, and set bytes to its length in bytes.

sord_node_get_string_measured()

SORD_API const uint8_t *SERD_NONNULL sord_node_get_string_measured	(	const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL	node,
		size_t *SERD_NONNULL	bytes,

Return the string value of a node, and set bytes to its length in bytes, and count to its length in characters.

sord_node_get_language()

SORD_API const char *SERD_NULLABLE sord_node_get_language

(

const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL

node

)

Return the language of a literal node (or NULL).

sord_node_get_datatype()

SORD_API SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE sord_node_get_datatype

(

const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL

node

)

sord_node_is_inline_object()

SORD_API bool sord_node_is_inline_object

(

const SordNode *SERD_NONNULL

node

)

Return true iff node can be serialised as an inline object.

More specifically, this returns true iff the node is the object field of exactly one statement, and therefore can be inlined since it needn't be referred to by name.

sord_node_equals()

SORD_API bool sord_node_equals	(	const SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE	a,
		const SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE	b )

Return true iff a is equal to b.

(

const SordNode *SERD_NULLABLE

node

)
