It can be used to [`pipe`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_readable_pipe_destination_options) streams to, or you can write strings into the parser directly. ### Print all parsed triples from a file to the console ```javascript const myParser = new RdfXmlParser(); fs.createReadStream('myfile.rdf') .pipe(myParser) .on('data', console.log) .on('error', console.error) .on('end', () => console.log('All triples were parsed!')); ``` ### Read all version attribute values ```javascript const myParser = new RdfXmlParser(); fs.createReadStream('myfile.rdf') .pipe(myParser) .on('data', console.log) .on('version', console.log) // Log rdf:version attribute values .on('error', console.error) .on('end', () => console.log('All triples were parsed!')); ``` The error thrown for unsupported versions can be skipped by setting `parseUnsupportedVersions` to `true` when constructing the parser. ### Manually write strings to the parser ```javascript const myParser = new RdfXmlParser(); myParser .on('data', console.log) .on('error', console.error) .on('end', () => console.log('All triples were parsed!')); myParser.write(''); myParser.write(``); myParser.write(``); myParser.write(``); myParser.write(``); myParser.write(``); myParser.end(); ``` ### Import streams This parser implements the RDFJS [Sink interface](https://rdf.js.org/#sink-interface), which makes it possible to alternatively parse streams using the `import` method. ```javascript const myParser = new RdfXmlParser(); const myTextStream = fs.createReadStream('myfile.rdf'); myParser.import(myTextStream) .on('data', console.log) .on('error', console.error) .on('end', () => console.log('All triples were parsed!')); ``` ## Configuration Optionally, the following parameters can be set in the `RdfXmlParser` constructor: * `dataFactory`: A custom [RDFJS DataFactory](http://rdf.js.org/#datafactory-interface) to construct terms and triples. _(Default: `require('@rdfjs/data-model')`)_ * `baseIRI`: An initial default base IRI. _(Default: `''`)_ * `defaultGraph`: The default graph for constructing [quads](http://rdf.js.org/#dom-datafactory-quad). _(Default: `defaultGraph()`)_ * `strict`: If the internal SAX parser should parse XML in strict mode, and error if it is invalid. _(Default: `false`)_ * `trackPosition`: If the internal position (line, column) should be tracked an emitted in error messages. _(Default: `false`)_ * `allowDuplicateRdfIds`: By default [multiple occurrences of the same `rdf:ID` value are not allowed](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Syntax-ID-xml-base). By setting this option to `true`, this uniqueness check can be disabled. _(Default: `false`)_ * `validateUri`: By default, the parser validates each URI. _(Default: `true`)_ * `iriValidationStrategy`: Allows to customize the used IRI validation strategy using the `IriValidationStrategy` enumeration. IRI validation is handled by [validate-iri.js](https://github.com/comunica/validate-iri.js/). _(Default: `IriValidationStrategy.Pragmatic`)_ * `parseUnsupportedVersions`: If no error should be emitted on unsupported versions. _(Default: `false`)_ * `version`: The version that was supplied as a media type parameter. _(Default: `undefined`)_ * `includeXmlNamespacesInLiterals`: If namespaces from the current and parent tags should be included in XML Literals. _(Default: `false`)_ ```javascript new RdfXmlParser({ dataFactory: require('@rdfjs/data-model'), baseIRI: 'http://example.org/', defaultGraph: namedNode('http://example.org/graph'), strict: true, trackPosition: true, allowDuplicateRdfIds: true, validateUri: true, parseUnsupportedVersions: false, includeXmlNamespacesInLiterals: false, }); ``` ## License This software is written by [Ruben Taelman](http://rubensworks.net/).
