Part I. Raptor Tutorial

This part describes how to use the Raptor APIs to turn syntaxes into RDF triples and RDF triples into syntaxes.

The next part contains the Raptor Reference Manual which comprehensively describes every class and function of the API.

For the latest information, see the Raptor Home Page and the main document overview in this document tree.

Parsing syntaxes to RDF Triples

Introduction

Create the Parser object

Parser features

Set RDF triple callback handler

Set fatal error, error and warning handlers

Set the identifier creator handler

Set namespace declared handler

Set the parsing strictness

Provide syntax content to parse

Parse the content from a URI (raptor_parse_uri())
Parse the content of a URI using an existing WWW connection (raptor_parse_uri_with_connection())
Parse the content of a C FILE* (raptor_parse_file_stream())
Parse the content of a file URI (raptor_parse_file())
Parse chunks of syntax content provided by the application (raptor_start_parse() and raptor_parse_chunk())

Restrict parser network access

Filtering parser network requests with feature RAPTOR_FEATURE_NO_NET
Filtering parser network requests with raptor_www_set_uri_filter()
Filtering parser network requests with raptor_parser_set_uri_filter()
Setting timeout for parser network requests with feature RAPTOR_FEATURE_WWW_TIMEOUT

Provide a destination for the serialized syntax

Serialize to a filename (raptor_serialize_start_to_filename())
Serialize to a string (raptor_serialize_start_to_string())
Serialize to a FILE* file handle (raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handle())
Serialize to an raptor_iostream (raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream())
Serialize to an raptor_iostream and close iostream (raptor_serialize_start())
