NAME

       RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples::Canonical - Canonical representation of an RDF model

VERSION

       This document describes RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples::Canonical version 1.000

SYNOPSIS

	 use RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples::Canonical;
	 my $serializer = RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples->new( onfail=>'truncate' );
	 $serializer->serialize_model_to_file(FH, $model);

DESCRIPTION

       This module produces a canonical string representation of an RDF graph.	If the graph contains blank nodes, sometimes there is no canonical
       representation that can be produced. The 'onfail' option allows you to decide what is done in those circumstances:

       o       truncate - drop problematic triples and only serialize a subgraph.

       o       append - append problematic triples to the end of graph. The result will be non-canonical. This is the default behaviour.

       o       space - As with 'append', but leave a blank line separating the canonical and non-canonical portions of the graph.

       o       die - cause a fatal error.

       Other than the 'onfail' option, this package has exactly the same interface as RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples, providing
       "serialize_model_to_file" and "serialize_model_to_string" methods.

       This package will be considerably slower than the non-canonicalising serializer though, so should only be used for small to medium-sized
       graphs, and only when you need canonicalisation (e.g. for side-by-side comparison of two graphs to check they're isomorphic; or creating a
       canonical representation for digital signing).

METHODS

       Beyond the methods documented below, this class inherits methods from the RDF::Trine::Serializer::NTriples class.

       "new ( [ onfail => $rule ] )"
	   Returns a new Canonical N-Triples serializer object. If specified, the value of the 'onfail' argument dictates the handling of blank
	   nodes with no canonical representation. The allowable rule values are 'truncate', 'append', 'space', and 'die', and their respective
	   behaviour is described in "DESCRIPTION" above.

       "serialize_model_to_file ( $fh, $model )"
	   Serializes the $model to canonical NTriples, printing the results to the supplied filehandle "<$fh">.

       "serialize_model_to_string ( $model )"
	   Serializes the $model to canonical NTriples, returning the result as a string.

NAME

       RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle - Turtle Serializer

VERSION

       This document describes RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle version 1.000

SYNOPSIS

	use RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle;
	my $serializer = RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle->new( namespaces => { ex => 'http://example/' } );
	print $serializer->serialize_model_to_string($model);

DESCRIPTION

       The RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle class provides an API for serializing RDF graphs to the Turtle syntax. XSD numeric types are serialized
       as bare literals, and where possible the more concise syntax is used for rdf:Lists.

METHODS

       Beyond the methods documented below, this class inherits methods from the RDF::Trine::Serializer class.

       "new ( namespaces => \%namespaces, base_uri => $base_uri )"
	   Returns a new Turtle serializer object.

       "serialize_model_to_file ( $fh, $model )"
	   Serializes the $model to Turtle, printing the results to the supplied filehandle "<$fh">.

       "serialize_model_to_string ( $model )"
	   Serializes the $model to Turtle, returning the result as a string.

       "serialize_iterator_to_file ( $file, $iter )"
	   Serializes the iterator to Turtle, printing the results to the supplied filehandle "<$fh">.

       "serialize_iterator ( $sink, $iter )"
	   Serializes the iterator to Turtle, printing the results to the supplied sink object.

       "serialize_iterator_to_string ( $iter )"
	   Serializes the iterator to Turtle, returning the result as a string.

       "serialize_node ( $node )"
	   Returns a string containing the Turtle serialization of $node.

       "node_as_concise_string"
	   Returns a string representation using common Turtle syntax shortcuts (e.g. for numeric literals).
