DESCRIPTION
The Raptor library provides a high-level interface to a set of parsers and serializers
that generate Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples by parsing syntaxes or
serialize the triples into syntaxes.
The supported parsing syntaxes include RDF/XML, N-Triples, Turtle, TRiG, RSS tag soup
(including all RSS and Atoms), GRDDL, RDFa and the serializing syntaxes include RDF/XML (3
varieties), N-Triples, Turtle, RSS 1.0, Atom 1.0, GraphViz DOT and RDF/JSON. The RDF/XML
parser can use either expat or libxml XML parsers for providing the SAX event stream. The
library functions are arranged in an object-oriented style with constructors, destructors
and method calls. The statements and error messages are delivered via callback functions.
Raptor contains a URI-reference parsing and resolving (not retrieval) class (raptor_uri)
sufficient for dealing with URI-references inside RDF. This functionality is modular and
can be transparently replaced with another existing and compatible URI implementation.
It also provides a URI-retrieval class (raptor_www) for wrapping existing library such as
libcurl, libxml2 or BSD libfetch that provides full or partial retrieval of data from URIs
and an I/O stream abstraction (raptor_iostream) for supportin serializing to a variety of
outputs.
Raptor uses Unicode strings for RDF literals and URIs and preserves them throughout the
library. It uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode at the API for passing in or returning
Unicode strings. It is intended that the preservation of Unicode for URIs will support
Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) which are still under development and
standardisation.
LIBRARY INITIALISATION AND CLEANUP
raptor_init()
raptor_finish()
Initialise and cleanup the library. These must be called before any raptor class
such as raptor_parser, raptor_uri is created or used. Note: as of 1.4.19 these are
wrappers around a static instance of the new raptor_world class. In Raptor 2.0
this initialisation and cleanup method will be removed.
void raptor_set_libxslt_security_preferences(void *security_preferences)
Set libxslt security preferences object.
void raptor_set_libxml_flags(int flags)
Set libxml flags from the choices: RAPTOR_LIBXML_FLAGS_GENERIC_ERROR_SAVE:
save/restore the libxml generic error handler when parsing and
RAPTOR_LIBXML_FLAGS_STRUCTURED_ERROR_SAVE: save/restore the libxml structured error
handler when parsing.
PARSER CLASS
This class provides the functionality of turning syntaxes into RDF triples - RDF parsing.
PARSER CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_parser* raptor_new_parser(name)
Create a new raptor parser object for the parser with name name currently either
"rdfxml", "turtle" or "rss-tag-soup" for the RSS Tag Soup parser.
raptor_parser* raptor_new_parser_for_content(raptor_uri *uri, const char *mime_type, const
unsigned char *buffer, size_t len, const unsigned char *identifier)
Create a new raptor parser object for a syntax identified by URI uri, MIME type
mime_type, some initial content buffer of size len or content with identifier
identifier. See the raptor_guess_parser_name description for further details.
PARSER DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_parser(raptor_parser *parser)
Destroy a Raptor parser object.
PARSER MESSAGE CALLBACK METHODS
Several methods can be registered for the parser that return a variable-argument message
in the style of printf(3). These also return a raptor_locator that can contain URI, file,
line, column and byte counts of where the message is about. This structure can be used
with the raptor_format_locator, raptor_print_locator functions below or the structures
fields directly, which are defined in raptor.h
void raptor_set_fatal_error_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser fatal error handler callback.
void raptor_set_error_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser non-fatal error handler callback.
void raptor_set_warning_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_message_handler handler)
Set the parser warning message handler callback.
raptor_set_namespace_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void* user_data,
raptor_namespace_handler handler)
Set the namespace declaration handler callback.
PARSER STATEMENT CALLBACK METHOD
The parser allows the registration of a callback function to return the statements to the
application.
void raptor_set_statement_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_statement_handler handler)
Set the statement callback function for the parser. The raptor_statement structure
is defined in raptor.h and includes fields for the subject, predicate, object of
the statements along with their types and for literals, language and datatype.
PARSER PARSING METHODS
These methods perform the entire parsing in one method. Statements warnings, errors and
fatal errors are delivered via the registered statement, error etc. handler functions.
In both of these methods, the base URI is required for the RDF/XML parser (name "rdfxml")
and Turtle parser (name "turtle"). The N-Triples parser (name "ntriples") or RSS Tag Soup
parser (name "rss-tag-soup") do not use this.
int raptor_parse_file(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_uri *uri, raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the given filename (a URI like file:filename) according to the optional base
URI base_uri. If uri is NULL, read from standard input and base_uri is then
required.
int raptor_parse_file_stream(raptor_parser* parser, FILE* stream, const char* filename,
raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the given C FILE* stream according to the base URI base_uri (required).
filename is optional and if given, is used for error messages via the
raptor_locator structure.
int raptor_parse_uri(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_uri* uri, raptor_uri *base_uri)
Parse the URI according to the base URI base_uri, or NULL if not needed. If no
base URI is given, the uri is used. This method depends on the raptor_www
subsystem (see WWW Class section below) and an existing underlying URI retrieval
implementation such as libcurl, libxml or BSD libfetch to retrieve the content.
PARSER CHUNKED PARSING METHODS
These methods perform the parsing in parts by working on multiple chunks of memory passed
by the application. Statements warnings, errors and fatal errors are delivered via the
registered statement, error etc. handler functions.
int raptor_start_parse(raptor_parser* parser, const char *uri)
Start a parse of chunked content with the base URI uri or NULL if not needed. The
base URI is required for the RDF/XML parser (name "rdfxml") and Turtle parser (name
"turtle"). The N-Triples parser (name "ntriples") or RSS Tag Soup parser (name
"rss-tag-soup") do not use this.
int raptor_parse_chunk(raptor_parser* parser, const unsigned char *buffer, size_t len,
int is_end)
Parse the memory at buffer of size len returning statements via the statement
handler callback. If is_end is non-zero, it indicates the end of the parsing
stream. This method can only be called after raptor_start_parse().
PARSER UTILITY METHODS
const char* raptor_get_mime_type(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Return the MIME type for the parser.
void raptor_set_parser_strict(raptor_parser *parser, int is_strict)
Set the parser to strict (is_strict not zero) or lax (default) mode. The detail of
the strictness can be controlled by raptor_set_feature.
int raptor_set_feature(raptor_parser *parser, raptor_feature feature, int value)
Set a parser feature feature to a particular value. Returns non 0 on failure or if
the feature is unknown. The current defined parser features are:
Feature Values
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_BAGID Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_NON_NS_ATTRIBUTES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_OTHER_PARSETYPES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ALLOW_RDF_TYPE_RDF_LIST Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ASSUME_IS_RDF Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_CHECK_RDF_ID Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_HTML_LINK Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_HTML_TAG_SOUP Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_MICROFORMATS Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NON_NFC_FATAL Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NORMALIZE_LANGUAGE Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_NO_NET Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RELATIVE_URIS Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_SCANNING Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WARN_OTHER_PARSETYPES Boolean (non 0 true)
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_TIMEOUT Integer
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_HTTP_USER_AGENT String
If the allow_bagid feature is true (default true) then the RDF/XML parser will support the
rdf:bagID attribute that was removed from the RDF/XML language when it was revised. This
support may be removed in future.
If the allow_non_ns_attributes feature is true (default true), then the RDF/XML parser
will allow non-XML namespaced attributes to be accepted as well as rdf: namespaced ones.
For example, 'about' and 'ID' will be interpreted as if they were rdf:about and rdf:ID
respectively.
If the allow_other_parsetypes feature is true (default true) then the RDF/XML parser will
allow unknown parsetypes to be present and will pass them on to the user. Unimplemented
at present.
If the allow_rdf_type_rdf_list feature is true (default false) then the RDF/XML parser
will generate the idList rdf:type rdf:List triple in the handling of
rdf:parseType="Collection". This triple was removed during the revising of RDF/XML after
collections were initially added.
If the assume_is_rdf feature is true (default false), then the RDF/XML parser will assume
the content is RDF/XML, not require that rdf:RDF root element, and immediately interpret
the content as RDF/XML.
If the check_rdf_id feature is true (default true) then rdf:ID values will be checked for
duplicates and cause an error if found.
if the html_link feature is true (default true), look for head <link> to type
rdf/xml for GRDDL parser
If the html_tag_soup feature is true (default true), use a lax HTML parser if an XML
parser fails when read HTML for GRDDL parser.
If the microformats feature is true (default true), look for microformats for GRDDL
parser.
If the non_nfc_fatal feature is true (default false) then illegal Unicode Normal Form C in
literals will give a fatal error, otherwise it gives a warning.
If the normalize_language feature is true (default true) then XML language values such as
from xml:lang will be normalized to lowercase.
If the no_net feature is true (default false) then network requests are denied.
If the scanning feature is true (default false), then the RDF/XML parser will look for
embedded rdf:RDF elements inside the XML content, and not require that the XML start with
an rdf:RDF root element.
If the www_timeout feature is set to an integer larger than 0, it sets the timeout in
seconds for internal WWW URI requests for the GRDDL parser.
If the www_http_cache_control feature is set to a string value (default none), it is sent
as the value of the HTTP Cache-Control: header in requests.
If the www_http_user_agent feature is set to a string value, it is sent as the value of
the HTTP User-Agent: header in requests.
raptor_parser_set_feature_string(raptor_parser *parser, raptor_feature feature, const
unsigned char *value)
Set a parser feature feature to a particular string value. Returns non 0 on
failure or if the feature is unknown. The current defined parser features are
given in raptor_set_feature and at present only take integer values. If an integer
value feature is set with this function, value is interpreted as an integer and
then that value is used.
int raptor_get_feature(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_feature feature)
Get parser feature integer values. The allowed feature values and types are given
under raptor_features_enumerate.
const unsigned char* raptor_parser_get_feature_string(raptor_parser *parser,
raptor_feature feature)
Get parser feature string values. The allowed feature values and types are given
under raptor_features_enumerate.
unsigned int raptor_get_feature_count(void)
Get the count of features defined. Prefered to the compile time-only symbol
RAPTOR_FEATURE_LAST which returns the maximum value, not the count. Added
raptor_get_need_base_uri
int raptor_feature_value_type(const raptor_feature feature)
Get a raptor feature value tyype - integer or string.
raptor_locator* raptor_get_locator(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Return the current raptor_locator object for the parser. This is a public
structure defined in raptor.h that can be used directly, or formatted via
raptor_print_locator.
void raptor_get_name(raptor_parser *parser)
Return the string short name for the parser.
void raptor_get_label(raptor_parser *parser)
Return a string label for the parser.
void raptor_set_default_generate_id_parameters(raptor_parser* rdf_parser, char *prefix,
int base)
Control the default method for generation of IDs for blank nodes and bags. The
method uses a short string prefix and an integer base to generate the identifier
which is not guaranteed to be a strict concatenation. If prefix is NULL, the
default is used. If base is less than 1, it is initialised to 1.
void raptor_set_generate_id_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void *user_data,
raptor_generate_id_handler handler)
Allow full customisation of the generated IDs by setting a callback handler and
associated user_data that is called whenever a blank node or bag identifier is
required. The memory returned is deallocated inside raptor. Some systems require
this to be allocated inside the same library, in which case the raptor_alloc_memory
function may be useful.
void raptor_parser_set_uri_filter(raptor_parser* parser, raptor_uri_filter_func filter,
void* user_data)
Set the URI filter function filter for URIs retrieved during parsing by the the
raptor_parser.
int raptor_get_need_base_uri(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Get a boolean whether this parser needs a base URI to start parsing.
unsigned char* raptor_parser_generate_id(raptor_parser* rdf_parser, raptor_genid_type
type)
Generate an ID for a parser of type type, either RAPTOR_GENID_TYPE_BNODEID or
RAPTOR_GENID_TYPE_BAGID. This uses any configuration set by
raptor_set_generate_id_handler.
void raptor_set_graph_handler(raptor_parser* parser, void* user_data, raptor_graph_handler
handler)
Set the graph handler callback.
raptor_world* raptor_parser_get_world(raptor_parser* rdf_parser)
Get the world object for the given rdf_parser.
PARSER UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_parsers_enumerate(const unsigned int counter, const char **name, const char
**label)
Return the parser name/label for a parser with a given integer counter, returning
non-zero if no such parser at that offset exists. The counter should start from 0
and be incremented by 1 until the function returns non-zero.
int raptor_syntaxes_enumerate(const unsigned int counter, const char **name, const char
**label, const char **mime_type, const unsigned char **uri-string)
Return the name, label, mime type or URI string (all optional) for a parser syntax
with a given integer counter, returning non-zero if no such syntax parser at that
offset exists. The counter should start from 0 and be incremented by 1 until the
function returns non-zero.
int raptor_features_enumerate(const raptor_feature feature, const char **name, raptor_uri
**uri, const char **label)
Return the name, URI, string label (all optional) for a parser feature, returning
non-zero if no such feature exists.
Raptor features have URIs that are constructed from the URI
http://feature.librdf.org/raptor- and the name so for example feature scanForRDF has URI
http://feature.librdf.org/raptor-scanForRDF
int raptor_syntax_name_check(const char *name)
Check name is a known syntax name.
const char* raptor_guess_parser_name(raptor_uri *uri, const char *mime_type, const
unsigned char *buffer, size_t len, const unsigned char *identifier)
Guess a parser name for a syntax identified by URI uri, MIME type mime_type, some
initial content buffer of size len or with content identifier identifier. All of
these parameters are optional and only used if not NULL. The parser is chosen by
scoring the hints that are given.
raptor_feature raptor_feature_from_uri(raptor_uri *uri)
Turn a URI uri into a raptor feature identifier, or <0 if the feature is unknown.
The URIs are described below raptor_set_feature.
STATEMENT UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_statement_compare(const raptor_statement *s1, const raptor_statement *s2)
Compare two statements and return an ordering between them.
void raptor_print_statement(const raptor_statement* const statement, FILE *stream)
Print a raptor statement object in a simple format for debugging only. The format
of this output is not guaranteed to remain the same between releases.
void raptor_print_statement_as_ntriples(const raptor_statement* statement, FILE *stream)
Print a raptor statement object in N-Triples format, using all the escapes as
defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples ⟨http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-
testcases/#ntriples⟩
raptor_statement_part_as_counted_string(const void *term, raptor_identifier_type type,
raptor_uri* literal_datatype, const unsigned char *literal_language, size_t* len_p)
char* raptor_statement_part_as_string(const void *term, raptor_identifier_type type,
raptor_uri* literal_datatype, const unsigned char *literal_language)
Turns part of raptor statement into N-Triples format, using all the escapes as
defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples ⟨http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-
testcases/#ntriples⟩ The part (subject, predicate, object) of the raptor_statement
is passed in as term, the part type (subject_type, predicate_type, object_type) is
passed in as type. When the part is a literal, the literal_datatype and
literal_language fields are set, otherwise NULL (usually object_datatype,
object_literal_language).
If raptor_statement_part_as_counted_string is used, the length of the returned
string is stored in *len_p if not NULL.
LOCATOR UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_format_locator(char *buffer, size_t length, raptor_locator* locator)
This method takes a raptor_locator object as passed to an error, warning or other
handler callback and formats it into the buffer of size length bytes. If buffer is
NULL or length is insufficient for the size of the formatted locator, returns the
number of additional bytes required in the buffer to write the locator.
In particular, if this form is used:
length=raptor_format_locator(NULL, 0, locator) it will return in length the size
of a buffer that can be allocated for locator and a second call will perform the
formatting:
raptor_format_locator(buffer, length, locator)
void raptor_print_locator(FILE *stream, raptor_locator* locator)
This method takes a raptor_locator object as passed to an error, warning or other
handler callback, formats and prints it to the given stdio stream.
int raptor_locator_line(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the line number in a locator structure or <0 if not available.
int raptor_locator_column(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the column number in a locator structure or <0 if not available.
int raptor_locator_byte(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the byte offset in a locator structure or <0 if not available.

Returns the filename in a locator structure or NULL if not available. Note the
returned pointer is to a shared string that must be copied if needed.
const char * raptor_locator_uri(raptor_locator *locator)
Returns the URI string in a locator structure or NULL if not available. Note this
does not return a raptor_uri* pointer and the returned pointer is to a shared
string that must be copied if needed.
N-TRIPLES UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_print_ntriples_string(FILE* stream, const char* string, const char delim)
This is a standalone function that prints the given string according to N-Triples
escaping rules, expecting to be terminated by delimiter delim which is usually
either ', " or <. If a null delimiter \0 is given, no extra escaping is performed.
int raptor_iostream_write_string_ntriples(raptor_iostream *iostr, const unsigned char
*string, size_t len, const char delim)
Write an N-Triples encoded version of the given string to iostream iostr. If delim
is given, that is the ending delimeter of the encoded string and it will be escaped
in the output as appropriate. Useful delim values are ', " and >. If a null
delimiter \0 is given, no extra escaping is performed.
int raptor_iostream_write_string_python(raptor_iostream *iostr, const unsigned char
*string, size_t len, const char delim, int flags)
Write string encoded to an iostream according to the delimeter delim and encoding
flags. The flag value selects formatting according to the appropriate Python-
related languages such as N-Triples (0), Turtle (1), Turtle long quoted string (2),
JSON (3).
void raptor_iostream_write_statement_ntriples(raptor_iostream* iostr, const
raptor_statement *statement)

UTF-8 string of length len using the Turtle "longString" triple quoting format to
the iostream iostr.
const char* raptor_ntriples_term_as_string (raptor_ntriples_term_type term)
Deprecated, for internal use.
XML UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_xml_any_escape_string(const unsigned char* string, size_t len, unsigned char*
buffer, size_t length, char quote, int xml_version, raptor_simple_message_handler
error_handler, void* error_data)
int raptor_xml_escape_string(const unsigned char *string, size_t len, unsigned char
*buffer, size_t length, char quote, raptor_message_handler error_handler, void
*error_data)
Apply the XML escaping rules to the string given in (string, len) into the buffer
of size length. If quote is given, the escaped content is for an XML attribute and
the appropriate quote character XML element content (CDATA). The error_handler
method along with error_data allow error reporting to be given. If buffer is NULL,
returns the size of the buffer required to escape. Otherwise the return value is
the number of bytes used or <0 on failure.
When an xml_version argument is present and has a value 10 (XML 1.0) or 11 (XML
1.1) then that version is used. The default with no argument is to generate XML
1.0.
int raptor_iostream_write_xml_any_escaped_string(raptor_iostream* iostr, const unsigned
char* string, size_t len, char quote, int xml_version, raptor_simple_message_handler
error_handler, void* error_data)
int raptor_iostream_write_xml_escaped_string(raptor_iostream* iostr, const unsigned char
*string, size_t len, char quote, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void
*error_data)
Write an XML-escaped version of the string given in (string, len) to iostream
iostr. If quote is given, the escaped content is for an XML attribute and the
appropriate quote character is used, otherwise it is XML element content (CDATA).
The error_handler method along with error_data allow error reporting to be given.
When an xml_version argument is present and has a value 10 (XML 1.0) or 11 (XML
1.1) then that version is used. The default with no argument is to generate XML
1.0.
int raptor_xml_name_check(const unsigned char *string, size_t length, int xml_version)
Check that the given string of length bytes is a legal XML name according to XML
1.0 or XML 1.1. xml_version is set to 10 or 11 respectively. Returns non-zero if
the name is legal.
MEMORY UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_free_memory(void *ptr)
Free memory allocated inside raptor. Some systems require memory allocated in a
library to be deallocated inside that library. This function can be used in that
situation to free memory allocated by raptor, such as the result of the _to_
methods that return allocated memory such as raptor_uri_to_filename,
raptor_uri_to_string, raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_uri_string,
raptor_uri_to_relative_uri_string or raptor_new_namespace_parts_from_string.
void* raptor_alloc_memory(size_t size)
Allocate memory inside the raptor library. Some systems require memory allocated
in a library to be deallocated inside that library. This function can be used in
that situation to allocate memory for raptor to free later, such as inside the
handler function declared with raptor_set_generate_id_handler which returns new
memory.
void* raptor_calloc_memory(size_t nmemb, size_t size)
Allocate zeroed array of items inside raptor. Some systems require memory
allocated in a library to be deallocated inside that library. This function can be
used in that situation to clear an array of allocated memory for raptor to use, for
freeing later, such as inside the handler function declared with
raptor_set_generate_id_handler which returns new memory.
UNICODE UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_unicode_char_to_utf8(raptor_unichar c, unsigned char *output)
Turn a Unicode character into UTF8 bytes in output of size c bytes which must be of
sufficient size. Returns the number of bytes encoded or <0 on failure.
int raptor_utf8_to_unicode_char(raptor_unichar *output, const unsigned char *input, int
length)
Decode a sequence UTF8 bytes in input of size length into a Unicode character in
output returning the number of bytes used or <0 on failure.
int raptor_utf8_check(const unsigned char *string, size_t length)
Check that a given string is legal UTF-8 encoding and includes only legal Unicode
characters U+0 to U+0x10ffff inclusive. Returns non-0 if the string is good.
int raptor_unicode_is_xml11_namestartchar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml10_namestartchar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml11_namechar(raptor_unichar c)
int raptor_unicode_is_xml10_namechar(raptor-unichar c)
Check that given Unicode characters are allowed as XML 1.0 or XML 1.0 names -
either as the starting character (*_namestartchar) or continuing character
(*_namechar). Returns non-0 if the character is allowed.
ERROR UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_error_handlers_init(raptor_error_handlers* error_handlers)
Initialise an error_handlers structure after the log level handlers and user data
pointers have been set.

SERIALIZER CLASS
This class provides the functionality of turning RDF triples into syntaxes - RDF
serializing.
SERIALIZER CONSTRUCTOR
raptor_serializer* raptor_new_serializer(const char *name)
Create a new raptor serializer object for the serializer with name name currently
either "rdfxml" or "ntriples". or "rss-1.0" for the RSS 1.0 serializer.
SERIALIZER DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_serializer(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer)
Destroy a Raptor serializer object.
SERIALIZER SERIALIZING METHODS
int raptor_serialize_start(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri,
raptor_iostream *iostream)
Start to serialize content using the given iostream to write to with optional base
URI uri. The iostream becomes owned by the serializer object and is destroyed at
the end of serializing when raptor_serialize_end() is called. Note that some
syntaxes may refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, raptor_uri* uri,
raptor_iostream* iostream)
Start to serialize content using the given iostream to write to with optional base
URI uri. The iostream does NOT become owned by the serializer object and the
caller may continue to write to it after serializing is finished. Note that some
syntaxes may refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_filename(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, const char
*filename)
Start to serialize content to the file filename which is opened for writing. The
base URI is calculated from the file name.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_string(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri,
void **string_p, size_t *length_p)
Start to serialize content to a string. string_p must point to a void* pointer
that will be used at the end of serializing to store the newly allocated string.
length_p if not NULL, it will be used to store the length of the new string. The
serializing is done with optional base URI uri however some syntaxes may refuse to
serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handle(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, raptor_uri
*uri, FILE *handle)
Start to serialize content to the already open C Standard I/O FILE* handle with the
base URI uri, which is optional and may be NULL. Note that some syntaxes may
refuse to serialize without a base URI, such as RDF/XML.
int raptor_serialize_statement(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer, const raptor_statement
*statement)
Serialize a single statement using the serializer.
int raptor_serialize_end(raptor_serializer* rdf_serializer)

raptor_print_locator.
int raptor_serializer_set_feature(raptor_serializer *serializer, raptor_feature feature,
int value)
Set a serializer feature feature to a particular value. Returns non 0 on failure
or if the feature is unknown. The current defined serializer features are:
Feature Values
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RELATIVE_URIS Boolean (non 0 true)

RAPTOR_FEATURE_LITERAL_FILL String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RESOURCE_BORDER String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RESOURCE_FILL String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_RSS_TRIPLES String
RAPTOR_FEATURE_ATOM_ENTRY_URI String
If the relative_uris feature is true (default false) then when serialising, preference is
given to generating relative URIs where possible.
If the write_base_uri feature is true (default true) then the atom, rdfxml, rdfxml-abbrev
and turtle serializers will write an @base or xml:base directive in the output.
If the start_uri feature is set to a URI it is used by the serializer to start serializing
from.
If the bnode_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the bnode border colour.
If the bnode_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the bnode fill colour.
If the json_callback feature is set, the JSON serializers use it as the name of the
callback to wrap the outer JSON object.
If the json_extra_data feature is set, the JSON serializers use it as extra data inside
the outer JSON object.
If the literal_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the literal border
colour.
If the literal_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the literal fill colour.
If the resource_border feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the resource border
colour.
If the resource_fill feature is set, the DOT serializer uses it as the resource fill
colour.
If the rss_triples feature is set to the string "rdf-xml" for the rss-1.0 serializer or
"atom-triples" for the atom serializer, it writes extra rdf triples into the serialized
output.
If the atom_entry_uri feature is set to a URI string, it is used to trigger generation of
an atom entry document for the atom serializer.

start from 0 and be incremented by 1 until the function returns non-zero.
int raptor_serializer_syntax_name_check(const char *name)
Check name is a known serializer syntax name.
URI CLASS
Raptor has a raptor_uri class must be used for manipulating and passing URI references.
The default internal implementation uses char* strings for URIs, manipulating them and
constructing them. This URI implementation can be replaced by any other that provides the
equivalent functionality, using the raptor_uri_set_handler function.
URI CONSTRUCTORS
There a several constructors for raptor_uri to build them from char* strings and existing
raptor_uri objects.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference uri_string.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_from_uri_local_name(raptor_uri* uri, const unsigned char*
local_name)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference local_name relative to an existing
URI-reference. This performs concatenation of the local_name to the uri and not
relative URI resolution, which is done by the raptor_new_uri_relative_to_base
constructor.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_relative_to_base(raptor_uri* base_uri, const unsigned char*
uri_string)
Create a raptor URI from a string URI-reference uri_string using relative URI
resolution to the base_uri.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_from_id(raptor_uri* base_uri, const unsigned char* id)
Create a raptor URI from a string RDF ID id concatenated to the base_uri base URI.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_for_rdf_concept(const char* name)
Create a raptor URI for the RDF namespace concept name.
raptor_uri* raptor_new_uri_for_xmlbase(raptor_uri* old_uri))
Create a raptor URI suitable for use with xml:base (throw away fragment)
URI DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_uri(raptor_uri* uri)
Destroy a raptor URI object.
URI METHODS
int raptor_uri_equals(raptor_uri* uri1, raptor_uri* uri2)
Return non-zero if the given URIs are equal.
raptor_uri* raptor_uri_copy(raptor_uri* uri)
Return a copy of the given raptor URI uri.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_as_counted_string(raptor_uri *uri, size_t* len_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_as_string(raptor_uri* uri)
Return a shared pointer to a string representation of the given raptor URI uri.
This string is shared and must not be freed (otherwise see the raptor_uri_to_*
methods below). If raptor_uri_as_counted_string is used, the length of the
returned string is stored in *len_p if not NULL.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_counted_string(raptor_uri *uri, size_t *len_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_string(raptor_uri *uri)
Return a to a newly alloced string representation of the given raptor URI uri.
This string must be freed by the caller using raptor_free_memory. If
raptor_uri_to_counted_string is used, the length of the returned string is stored
in *len_p if not NULL.
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_uri_string(raptor_uri *base_uri, raptor_uri
*reference_uri, size_t *length_p)
unsigned char* raptor_uri_to_relative_uri_string(raptor_uri *base_uri, raptor_uri
*reference_uri)
Return a new relative URI string of a URI reference_uri against a base URI
base_uri. The returned string must be freed with raptor_free_memory. If
raptor_uri_to_relative_counted_string is used, the length of the returned string is
stored in *len_p if not NULL.
void raptor_uri_print(const raptor_uri* uri, FILE *stream)
Print URI uri to the file handle stream.
int raptor_iostream_write_uri(raptor_iostream* iostr, raptor_uri* uri)
Write the raptor_uri uri to the iostream ostr.
URI UTILITY FUNCTIONS
void raptor_uri_resolve_uri_reference (const unsigned char* base_uri, const unsigned char*
reference_uri, char unsigned* buffer, size_t length)
This is a standalone function that resolves the relative URI reference_uri against
the base URI base_uri according to the URI resolution rules in RFC2396. The
resulting URI is stored in buffer which is of length bytes. If this is too small,
no work will be done.
char *raptor_uri_filename_to_uri_string(const unsigned char* filename)
This is a standalone function that turns a local filename (Windows or Unix style as
appropriate for platform) into a URI string (file).
The returned string must be freed by the caller. Some systems require memory
allocated in a library to be deallocated inside that library in which case
raptor_free_memory may be used.
char *raptor_uri_uri_string_to_filename(const unsigned char* uri_string)
char *raptor_uri_uri_string_to_filename(const unsigned char* uri_string, unsigned char
**fragment_p)
These are standalone functions that turn a URI string that represents a local
filename (file:) into a filename, with optional URI fragment. If fragment_p is not
NULL it points to the location to store a newly allocated string containing the
fragment. The returned strings must be freed by the caller. Some systems require
memory allocated in a library to be deallocated inside that library in which case
raptor_free_memory may be used.
int raptor_uri_is_file_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
DEPRECATED in 1.4.9. Returns non-zero if the given URI string represents a
filename. Use raptor_uri_uri_string_is_file_uri in preference.
int raptor_uri_uri_string_is_file_uri(const unsigned char* uri_string)
Returns non-zero if the given URI string represents a filename.
URI CLASS IMPLEMENTATION
void raptor_uri_set_handler(const raptor_uri_handler *handler, void *context)

implementation. The context user data is passed in to the handler URI
implementation calls.
void raptor_uri_get_handler(raptor_uri_handler **handler, void **context)
Return the current raptor URI class implementation handler and context
WWW CLASS
This is a small wrapper class around existing WWW libraries in order to provide HTTP GET
or better URI retrieval for Raptor. It is not intended to be a general purpose WWW
retrieval interface.
WWW CLASS INITIALISATION AND CLEANUP
void raptor_www_init(void)
void raptor_www_finish(void)
Initialise or terminate the raptor_www infrastructure. raptor_www_init and
raptor_finish are called by raptor_init and raptor_finish respecitively, otherwise
must be called once each.
NOTE Several of the WWW library implementations require once-only initialisation and
termination functions to be called, however raptor cannot determine whether this is
already done before the library is initialised in raptor_www_init or terminated in
raptor_www_finish, so always performs it. This can be changed by
raptor_www_no_www_library_init_finish.
void raptor_www_no_www_library_init_finish(void)
If this is called before raptor_www_init, it will not call the underlying WWW
library global initialise or terminate functions. The application code must
perform both operations.
For example with curl, after this function is called, neither curl_global_init nor
curl_global_cleanup will be called during raptor_www_init or raptor_www_finish
respectively.
WWW CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_www *raptor_www_new(void)
raptor_www *raptor_www_new_with_connection(void* connection)
Create a raptor WWW object capable of URI retrieval. If connection is given, it
must match the connection object of the underlying WWW implementation. At present,
this is only for libcurl, and allows you to re-use an existing curl handle, or use
one which has been set up with some desired qualities.
WWW DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_www_free(raptor_www *www)
Destroy a raptor WWW object.
WWW METHODS
void raptor_www_set_user_agent(raptor_www *www, const char *user_agent)

sent.
void raptor_www_set_error_handler(raptor_www *www, raptor_message_handler error_handler,
void *error_data)
Set the error handler routine for the raptor_www class. This takes the same
arguments as the raptor_parser error, warning handler methods.
void raptor_www_set_uri_filter(raptor_www* www, raptor_uri_filter_func filter, void*
user_data)
Set the URI filter function filter for URIs retrieved by the raptor_www object.

will be used to store the newly allocated string. length_p if not NULL, it will be
used to store the length of the new string.
void raptor_www_abort(raptor_www *www, const char *reason)
Abort an ongoing raptor WWW operation. Typically used within one of the raptor WWW
handlers.
QNAME CLASS
This is a class for handling XML QNames consisting of the pair of (a URI from a namespace,
a local name) along with an optional value -- useful for XML attributes. This is used
with the raptor_namespace_stack and raptor_namespace classes to handle a stack of
raptor_namespace that build on raptor_qname.
QNAME CONSTRUCTORS
There are two constructors for raptor_qname to build qnames with optional values on a
stack of names.
raptor_qname* raptor_new_qname(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, const unsigned char *name,
const unsigned char *value, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data)
Create a raptor QName name (a possibly :-separated name) with name to be resolved
against the given nstack namespace stack. An optional value can be given, and if
there is an error, the error_handler and error_data will be used to invoke the
callback.
raptor_qname* raptor_new_qname_from_namespace_local_name (raptor_namespace *ns, const
unsigned char *local_name, const unsigned char *value)
Create a raptor QName using the namespace name of the raptor_namespace ns and the
local name local_name, along with optional value value. Errors are reported using
the error handling and data of the namespace.
raptor_qname* raptor_qname_copy(raptor_qname *qname)
Create a raptor QName from an existing one, returning NULL on failure.
QNAME DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_qname(raptor_qname* name)
Destroy a raptor qname object.
QNAME METHODS
int raptor_qname_equal(raptor_qname* name1, raptor_qname *name2)
Return non-zero if the given QNames are equal.

const unsigned char* raptor_qname_get_local_name(raptor_qname* name)
Get the local name of the QName.
const unsigned char* raptor_qname_get_value(raptor_qname* name)
Get the value of the QName for an XML attribute QName.
const unsigned char* raptor_qname_get_counted_value(raptor_qname* name, size_t* length_p)

NULL).
QNAME UTILITY FUNCTIONS
raptor_uri* raptor_qname_string_to_uri(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, const unsigned
char *name, size_t name_len, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void
*error_data)
Return the URI corresponding to the QName according to the RDF method;
concatenating the namespace's name (URI) with the local name. Takes the same
arguments as raptor_new_qname but does not create a raptor_qname object.
raptor_namespace* raptor_qname_get_namespace(raptor_qname* name)
Return the raptor_namespace used by the QName. Will never be NULL even for the
default namespace in which case the URI of the returned namespace object will be
NULL.
NAMESPACE CLASS
An XML namespace class - each entry is on a stack and consists of a name (URI) and prefix.
The prefix or the name but not both may be empty. If the prefix is empty, it defines the
default prefix. If the name is empty, it undefines the given prefix.
NAMESPACE CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_namespace* raptor_new_namespace(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, const unsigned char
*prefix, const unsigned char *ns_uri_string, int depth)
raptor_namespace* raptor_new_namespace_from_uri(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, const
unsigned char *prefix, raptor_uri* ns_uri, int depth)
Create a new raptor_namespace object on the given namespace stack nstack with
prefix prefix and namespace name either from URI string ns_uri_string or from
copying URI ns_uri.
If prefix is NULL, it defines the URI for the default namespace prefix. If the namespace
name (ns_uri_string or ns_uri) is NULL, it undefines the given prefix in the current
scope. Both prefix and URI may be NULL to undefine the default namespace. depth
signifies the position of the namespace on the stack; 0 is the bottom of the stack and
generally the first depth for user namespace declarations.
Namespaces declared on the same depth (such as on the same XML element, typically) can be
handily freed with raptor_namespaces_end_for_depth method on the namespace stack class.
NAMESPACE DESTRUCTOR
void raptor_free_namespace(raptor_namespace *ns)
Destroy a raptor namespace object.
NAMESPACE METHODS
raptor_uri* raptor_namespace_get_uri(const raptor_namespace *ns)
Return the namespace name (URI) of the namespace.
const unsigned char* raptor_namespace_get_prefix(const raptor_namespace *ns)
Return the prefix of the namespace.
const unsigned char* raptor_namespace_get_counted_prefix(const raptor_namespace* ns,
size_t* length_p)

unsigned char *raptor_namespaces_format(const raptor_namespace *ns, size_t *length_p)
Format the namespace as a string and return it as a new string, returning the
length of the resulting string in length_p if it is not NULL. The string format is
suitable for emitting in XML to declare the namespace.
int raptor_iostream_write_namespace(raptor_iostream* iostr, raptor_namespace *ns)
Write a formatted namespace declaration like xmlns... to an iostream iostr.
NAMESPACE UTILITY FUNCTIONS
int raptor_namespace_copy(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, raptor_namespace *ns, int

Copy the namespace from the current stack to the new one, nstack at depth
new_depth.
int raptor_new_namespace_parts_from_string(unsigned char *string, unsigned char **prefix,
unsigned char **uri_string)
Parse string with an XML-style namespace declaration like xmlns="", xmlns="uri",
xmlns:prefix="" or xmlns:prefix="uri" into the strings pointed to by prefix string
and a uri_string. Empty prefixes or namespace names return NULL pointers.
Returned strings must be freed by the caller using raptor_free_memory.
NAMESPACE STACK CLASS
A stack of raptor_namespace objects where the namespaces on top of the stack have wider
scope and override earlier (lower) namespace declarations. Intended to match the XML
namespace declaring semantics using xmlns attributes.
NAMESPACE STACK CONSTRUCTORS
raptor_namespace_stack* raptor_new_namespaces(raptor_uri_handler *uri_handler, void
*uri_context, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data, int defaults)
int raptor_namespaces_init(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, raptor_uri_handler *handler,
void *context, raptor_simple_message_handler error_handler, void *error_data, int
defaults)
Create or initialise a new raptor_namespace_stack object with the given URI and
error handlers. raptor_namespaces_new allocates new memory for the namespace stack
and raptor_namespaces_init initialises an existing declared nstack, which could be
statically allocated. Note that raptor_uri_get_handler can be useful to return the
current raptor URI handler/context. The defaults argument describes which default
namespaces are declared in the empty stack. At present, 0 is none, 1 for just the
XML namespace and 2 is for a typical set of namespaces used for RDF, RDFS, Dublin
Core, OWL, ... that may vary over time.
In versions 1.4.16 or newer this returns an integer result, non-0 on failure.
NAMESPACE STACK DESTRUCTORS
void raptor_free_namespaces(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack)
Destroy a namespace stack object, freeing the nstack (goes with
raptor_new_namespaces).
void raptor_namespaces_clear(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack)

for the meaning of the argumens.
void raptor_namespaces_end_for_depth(raptor_namespace_stack *nstack, int depth)
End (and free) all namespaces on the stack at the given depth.
raptor_namespace* raptor_namespaces_get_default_namespace (raptor_namespace_stack *nstack)

indent the output.
If the writer_auto_empty feature is set (default true), the XML writer will automatically
generate empty elements if a start/end element sequence has no content.
If the writer_indent_width feature is set (default 2) if the XML writer is outputing
indented XML, it will use that many spaces.
