NAME

       RDF::TrineX::Serializer::MockTurtleSoup - he's a bit slow, but he's sure good lookin'

SYNOPSIS

        use RDF::TrineX::Serializer::MockTurtleSoup;

        my $ser = "RDF::TrineX::Serializer::MockTurtleSoup"->new(%opts);
        $ser->serialize_model_to_file($fh, $model);

DESCRIPTION

       Like RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle but real pretty.

       And slower.

       And probably breaks with some complex graphs.

   What's so pretty?
       •   Output interesting data first. Output URIs before bnodes. Output rdf:type and rdfs:label before other
           predicates. Allow the user to define criteria for what nodes are "interesting".

       •   Use QNames for predicates, classes and datatypes, use full URIs elsewhere. But also allow the user to
           supply a list of additional URIs that will be abbreviated to QNames:

            "RDF::TrineX::Serializer::MockTurtleSoup"->new(
               abbreviate => [
                  qr{^http://ontologi\.es/},
                  qr{^http://purl\.org/},
                  "http://www.google.com/",
               ],
            );

       •   Generate those QNames using RDF::Prefixes because it generates awesome prefixes. (Better than "ns1",
           "ns2", etc.)

       •   When data is equally interesting, sort alphabetically by subject, predicate and object. When sorting
           by predicate, sort by the predicate's QName, not its full URI.

       •   Compact Turtle list syntax (mostly stolen from Greg's RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle)

       •   Inline simple bnodes.

       •   Indent nicely.

   Options
       The constructor supports the following options:

       "abbreviate"
           This option will be used as the right-hand side of a smart match to test URIs to see if they should
           be abbreviated to QNames.

           URIs used as predicates or as the object of rdf:type triples are always abbreviated anyway. URIs
           which cannot be abbreviated to a legal QName will just be output as URIs.

       "apostrophe"
           Boolean; if true, then the serializer will sometimes quote literals with an apostrophe instead of
           double-quote marks. This is allowed by recent versions of the Turtle spec, but was disallowed by
           earlier specifications, and not widely supported yet. Defaults to false.

       "colspace"
           This allows your predicate-object pairs to line up as nice columns. The smaller the number, the
           closer they get. Default is 20.

       "encoding"
           Either "ascii" or "utf8". Default is "utf8".

       "indent"
           A whitespace string to indent by. The default is one tab character.  (God's chosen indentation.)

       "labelling"
           This option will be used as the right-hand side of a smart match to determine which URIs are
           considered to be equivalent to "rdfs:label".  The default is just
           "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label".

       "namespaces"
           A hashref of prefix => URI pairs to define preferred QName prefixes.  There is no guarantee that
           these will be honoured, but they usually will. RDF::Prefixes does a damn good job without any help,
           so this is generally pretty unnecessary.

       "priorities"
           If defined, must be a coderef. The coderef will be called with arguments: the serializer object
           itself, a node and the RDF::Trine::Model being serialized.

           The coderef can use data within the model to determine how "interesting" the node is. High numbers
           are very interesting. Negitive numbers are very boring.

           Interesting nodes are more likely to appear earlier on in the output.

           Default is undef.

       "repeats"
           Boolean. If false (the default), will output data like:

            <http://example.com/>
               dc:title "Cat"@en, "Chat"@fr.

           If true, will output data like:

            <http://example.com/>
               dc:title "Cat"@en;
               dc:title "Chat"@fr.

   Methods
       This module provides the same API as RDF::Trine::Serializer.
