• The master branch is kept in sync with NPM and all development work happens on the devel branch and/or issue-specific branches.
• Requires Node.js >= 8.0.0.

Usage

SparqlEngine()

The constructor expects an instance of quadstore.RdfStore as its only argument.

const memdown = require('memdown');
const quadstore = require('quadstore');
const SparqlEngine = require('quadstore-sparql');

const rdfStoreInstance = new quadstore.RdfStore(memdown());
const sparqlEngineInstance = new SparqlEngine(store);

rdfStoreInstance.import();
sparqlEngineInstance.query('SELECT * WHERE {?s ?p ?o}', (err, result) => { 
  /* ... */
});

SparqlEngine.prototype.query()

The .query() method takes care of calling the .queryStream() method and then buffering all data emitted by the stream.

const queryString = 'SELECT *  WHERE { GRAPH ?g { ?s ?p ?o } }';
const resultFormat = 'application/sparql-results+xml';

const result = await sparqlEngineInstance.queryStream(queryString, resultFormat);
console.log(result);

Depending on the format argument, the returned item is either an array of quads/bindings or a string.

SparqlEngine.prototype.queryStream()

const queryString = 'SELECT *  WHERE { GRAPH ?g { ?s ?p ?o } }';
const resultFormat = 'application/sparql-results+xml';

const resultStream = await sparqlEngineInstance.queryStream(queryString, resultFormat);
resultStream.on('data', (chunk) => { /* ... */ });

Returns a stream.Readable that outputs the results of the query, formatted according to the data format specified as the second argument.

Browser

For in-browser usage refer to quadstore's instructions on the same topic. This package uses @comunica/actor-init-sparql-rdfjs, which is a hefty package. Expect bundle sizes in the 1 - 2 MB range.
