Package org.apache.jena.riot

Class RDFWriter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.jena.riot.RDFWriter

public class RDFWriter
extends java.lang.Object

An RDFWriter is a process that will output triples or quads in an RDF syntax. RDFWriterBuilder provides the means to setup the writer.

The process is

    DatasetGraph dsg = ...
    RDFWriter writer = RDFWriter.create().source(dsg).lang(Lang.TTL).build();
    OutputStream out =
    writer.output(out);
 

or using abbreviated forms:

    RDFWriter.create().source(dsg).lang(Lang.TTL).output(out);

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
java.lang.String	asString()	Write and return as a string.
static RDFWriterBuilder	create()	Create an RDFWriterBuilder.
static RDFWriterBuilder	create(Graph graph)	Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.
static RDFWriterBuilder	create(Dataset dataset)	Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.
static RDFWriterBuilder	create(Model model)	Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.
static RDFWriterBuilder	create(DatasetGraph dataset)	Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.
void	output(java.io.OutputStream output)	Write the source to the OutputStream.
void	output(java.io.Writer javaWriter)	Deprecated. Using Java Writers risks corruption because of mismatch of character set.
void	output(java.lang.String filename)	Write the source to the file.

Method Detail

create

public static RDFWriterBuilder create()

Create an RDFWriterBuilder.

Often used in a pattern such as:

    RDFWriter.create()
        .lang(Lang.TTL)
        .source(graph)
        .output(System.out);
 

create

public static RDFWriterBuilder create(Graph graph)

Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.

Parameters:

graph - A Graph.

Returns:

RDFWriterBuilder

create

public static RDFWriterBuilder create(Model model)

Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.

Parameters:

model - A Model.

Returns:

RDFWriterBuilder

create

public static RDFWriterBuilder create(DatasetGraph dataset)

Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.

Parameters:

dataset - A DatasetGraph.

Returns:

RDFWriterBuilder

create

public static RDFWriterBuilder create(Dataset dataset)

Create an RDFWriterBuilder and set the source of writing to the graph argument.

Parameters:

dataset - A Dataset.

Returns:

RDFWriterBuilder

asString

public java.lang.String asString()

Write and return as a string.

The Lang or RDFFormat must have been set.

output

public void output(java.io.OutputStream output)

Write the source to the OutputStream.

The Lang or RDFFormat must have been set.

Parameters:

output -

output

@Deprecated
public void output(java.io.Writer javaWriter)

Deprecated.

Using Java Writers risks corruption because of mismatch of character set. Only UTF-8 is safe.

Write the source to the Java Writer.

The Lang or RDFFormat must have been set.

Parameters:

javaWriter -

output

public void output(java.lang.String filename)

Write the source to the file.

If neither Lang nor RDFFormat are set, an attempt to guess an RDF Syntax is made from the file extension.

Output to "-" goes to stdout.

Parameters:

filename -
