NAME

       URI::NamespaceMap - Class holding a collection of namespaces

VERSION

       Version 1.04

SYNOPSIS

         use URI::NamespaceMap;
         my $map = URI::NamespaceMap->new( { xsd => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#' } );
         $map->namespace_uri('xsd')->as_string;
         my $foaf = URI::Namespace->new( 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
         $map->add_mapping(foaf => $foaf);
         $map->add_mapping(rdf => 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#' );
         $map->list_prefixes;  #  ( 'foaf', 'rdf', 'xsd' )
         $map->foaf; # Returns URI::Namespace object

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an object to manage multiple namespaces for creating URI::Namespace objects and for
       serializing.

METHODS

       "new ( [ \%namespaces | @prefixes | @uris ] )"
           Returns  a  new namespace map object. You can pass a hash reference with mappings from local names to
           namespace URIs (given as string or RDF::Trine::Node::Resource) or namespaces_map with a hashref.  You
           may  also pass an arrayref containing just prefixes and/or namespace URIs, and the module will try to
           guess the missing part. To use this feature, you need  RDF::NS::Curated,  RDF::NS,  XML::CommonNS  or
           RDF::Prefixes, or preferably all of them.

       "add_mapping ( $name => $uri )"
           Adds  a  new  namespace  to  the  map.  The namespace URI can be passed as string or a URI::Namespace
           object.

       "remove_mapping ( $name )"
           Removes a namespace from the map given a prefix.

       "namespace_uri ( $name )"
           Returns the URI::Namespace object (if any) associated with the given prefix.

       $name
           This module creates a method for all the prefixes, so you can say e.g.

             $map->foaf

           and get a URI::Namespace object for the FOAF namespace. Since URI::Namespace does the same for  local
           names, you can then say e.g.

             $map->foaf->name

           to get a full URI.

       "list_namespaces"
           Returns an array of URI::Namespace objects with all the namespaces.

       "list_prefixes"
           Returns an array of prefixes.

       "guess_and_add ( @string_or_uri )"
           Like  in  the  constructor,  an  array  of strings can be given, and the module will attempt to guess
           appropriate mappings, and add them to the map.

       "uri ( $prefixed_name )"
           Returns a URI for an abbreviated string such as 'foaf:Person'.

       prefix_for "uri ($uri)"
           Returns the associated prefix (or potentially multiple prefixes, when called in list context) for the
           given URI.

       abbreviate "uri ($uri)"
           Complement to "namespace_uri". Returns the given URI in "foo:bar" format  or  "undef"  if  it  wasn't
           matched, therefore the idiom

               my $str = $nsmap->abbreviate($uri_node) || $uri->as_string;

           may be useful for certain serialization tasks.

WARNING

       Avoid  using  the  names 'can', 'isa', 'VERSION', and 'DOES' as namespace prefix, because these names are
       defined as method for every Perl object by default. The method names 'new' and 'uri' are also  forbidden.
       Names of methods of Moose::Object must also be avoided.

       Using them will result in an error.
