quaff-lod

This is streaming Linked Open Data parser made available as a Web Worker.

It is just a very thin wrapper around these streaming LOD parsers

• https://github.com/rubensworks/jsonld-streaming-parser.js
• https://github.com/rdfjs/rdfxml-streaming-parser.js
• https://github.com/rdfjs/N3.js

This was motivated by the needs of https://github.com/smurp/huviz and https://github.com/smurp/nooron

Usage:

worker = new Worker('/node_modules/quaff-lod/quaff_lod_worker_bundle.js')
worker.addEventListener('message', trigger_callback); // a second listener for error and end
// then trigger execution with either
worker.postMessage({action: 'fetchUrl', url: 'http://example.com/truth.ttl'}); // ext, if not passed, is taken from url
// or something like
worker.postMessage({action: 'readData', ext: 'ttl', theDataToRead: ':s :p "helo wrld" .'});
// ext should be one of the supported: jsonld|n3|nt|nq|nquads|rdf|trig|ttl|xml

Development

npm run dev

Caveat

Although the parsers are streaming, a current issue is that this implementation is not :-/.

All Hail

Thanks to Ruben and Ruben for their great parsers!
