Description

Variable bindings and boolean query results can be formatted into different syntaxes such as SPARQL Query Results Format or JSON. The rasqal_query_results_formatter class allows choosing a formatter for a particular syntax and writing the syntax to a raptor_iostream which allows turning the syntax into a string, writing to a file handle or other custom destination.

Get information on query result syntaxes.

The current list of format names/URI is given below however the results of this function will always return the latest.

SPARQL XML Results 2007-06-14 (default format when counter is 0) name 'xml' with URIs http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-rdf-sparql-XMLres-20070614/ or http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#

rasqal_query_results_formatter

rasqal_graph_query_results_formatter* query_results_formatter;

Rasqal query results formatter class.


rasqal_new_query_results_formatter ()

rasqal_query_results_formatter* rasqal_new_query_results_formatter
                                                        (rasqal_world *world,

Constructor - create a new rasqal_query_results_formatter object by identified format.

A query results format can be named or identified by a URI, both of which are optional. The default query results format will be used if both are NULL. rasqal_query_results_formats_enumerate() returns information on the known query results names, labels and URIs.

world :

rasqal_world object

name :

the query results format name (or NULL)

format_uri :

raptor_uri query results format uri (or NULL)

Returns :

a new rasqal_query_results_formatter object or NULL on failure

rasqal_new_query_results_formatter_by_mime_type ()

                                                         const char *mime_type);

Constructor - create a new rasqal_query_results_formatter object by mime type.

A query results format generates a syntax with a mime type which may be requested with this constructor.

Note that there may be several formatters that generate the same MIME Type (such as SPARQL XML results format drafts) and in thot case the rasqal_new_query_results_formatter() constructor allows selecting of a specific one by name or URI.

world :

rasqal_world object

mime_type :

mime type name

Returns :

a new rasqal_query_results_formatter object or NULL on failure

rasqal_free_query_results_formatter ()

Destructor - destroy a rasqal_query_results_formatter object.

formatter :

rasqal_query_results_formatter object
