There are also methods to deal with handling errors, warnings and returned triples as well as setting options (features) that can adjust how serializing is performed. Details raptor_serializer raptor_serializerraptor_serializer* raptor_serializer; Raptor Serializer class raptor_new_serializer () raptor_new_serializerraptor_serializer* raptor_new_serializer (const char *name); Constructor - create a new raptor_serializer object name : the serializer name Returns : a new raptor_serializer object or NULL on failure raptor_free_serializer () raptor_free_serializervoid raptor_free_serializer (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer); Destructor - destroy a raptor_serializer object. rdf_serializer : raptor_serializer object raptor_serialize_start () raptor_serialize_startint raptor_serialize_start (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, raptor_iostream *iostream); Start serialization with given base URI The passed in iostream becomes owned by the serializer and will be destroyed when the serializing is complete. Compare to raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream(). This function will be deprecated for raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream() in future. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer uri : base URI or NULL if no base URI is required iostream : raptor_iostream to write serialization to Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream () raptor_serialize_start_to_iostreamint raptor_serialize_start_to_iostream (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, raptor_iostream *iostream); Start serialization to an iostream with given base URI The passed in iostream does not becomes owned by the serializer and can be used by the caller after serializing is done. It must be destroyed by the caller. Compare to raptor_serialize_start() which will be deprecated in future. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer uri : base URI or NULL if no base URI is required iostream : raptor_iostream to write serialization to Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_start_to_filename () raptor_serialize_start_to_filenameint raptor_serialize_start_to_filename (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, const char *filename); Start serializing to a filename. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer filename : filename to serialize to Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_start_to_string () raptor_serialize_start_to_stringint raptor_serialize_start_to_string (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, void **string_p, size_t *length_p); Start serializing to a string. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer uri : base URI or NULL if no base URI is required string_p : pointer to location to hold string length_p : pointer to location to hold length of string (or NULL) Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handle () raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handleint raptor_serialize_start_to_file_handle (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, FILE *fh); Start serializing to a FILE*. NOTE: This does not fclose the handle when it is finished. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer uri : base URI or NULL if no base URI is required fh : FILE* to serialize to Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_set_namespace () raptor_serialize_set_namespaceint raptor_serialize_set_namespace (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_uri *uri, unsigned char *prefix); set a namespace uri/prefix mapping for serializing. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer uri : raptor_uri of namespace or NULL prefix : prefix to use or NULL Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_set_namespace_from_namespace () raptor_serialize_set_namespace_from_namespaceint raptor_serialize_set_namespace_from_namespace (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, raptor_namespace *nspace); Set a namespace uri/prefix mapping for serializing from an existing namespace. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer nspace : raptor_namespace to set Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_statement () raptor_serialize_statementint raptor_serialize_statement (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer, const raptor_statement *statement); Serialize a statement. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer statement : raptor_statement to serialize to a syntax Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serialize_end () raptor_serialize_endint raptor_serialize_end (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer); End a serialization. rdf_serializer : the raptor_serializer Returns : non-0 on failure. raptor_serializer_get_iostream () raptor_serializer_get_iostreamraptor_iostream* raptor_serializer_get_iostream (raptor_serializer *serializer); Get the current serializer iostream. serializer : raptor_serializer object Returns : the serializer's current iostream or NULL if raptor_serializer_set_error_handler () raptor_serializer_set_error_handlervoid raptor_serializer_set_error_handler (raptor_serializer *serializer, void *user_data, raptor_message_handler handler); Set the serializer error handling function. The function will receive callbacks when the serializer fails. serializer : the serializer user_data : user data to pass to function handler : pointer to the function raptor_serializer_set_warning_handler () raptor_serializer_set_warning_handlervoid raptor_serializer_set_warning_handler (raptor_serializer *serializer, void *user_data, raptor_message_handler handler); Set the serializer warning handling function. The function will receive callbacks when the serializer fails. serializer : the serializer user_data : user data to pass to function handler : pointer to the function raptor_serializer_get_locator () raptor_serializer_get_locatorraptor_locator* raptor_serializer_get_locator (raptor_serializer *rdf_serializer); Get the serializer raptor locator object. rdf_serializer : raptor serializer Returns : raptor locator raptor_serializer_features_enumerate () raptor_serializer_features_enumerateint raptor_serializer_features_enumerate (const raptor_feature feature, const char **name, raptor_uri **uri, const char **label); Get list of serializer features. If uri is not NULL, a pointer toa new raptor_uri is returned that must be freed by the caller with raptor_free_uri(). feature : feature enumeration (0+) name : pointer to store feature short name (or NULL) uri : pointer to store feature URI (or NULL) label : pointer to feature label (or NULL) Returns : 0 on success, <0 on failure, >0 if feature is unknown raptor_serializer_set_feature () raptor_serializer_set_featureint raptor_serializer_set_feature (raptor_serializer *serializer, raptor_feature feature, int value); Set serializer features with integer values. The allowed features are available via raptor_features_enumerate(). serializer : raptor_serializer serializer object feature : feature to set from enumerated raptor_feature values value : integer feature value (0 or larger) Returns : non 0 on failure or if the feature is unknown raptor_serializer_set_feature_string () raptor_serializer_set_feature_stringint raptor_serializer_set_feature_string (raptor_serializer *serializer, raptor_feature feature, unsigned char *value); Set serializer features with string values. The allowed features are available via raptor_serializer_features_enumerate(). If the feature type is integer, the value is interpreted as an integer. serializer : raptor_serializer serializer object feature : feature to set from enumerated raptor_feature values value : feature value Returns : non 0 on failure or if the feature is unknown raptor_serializer_get_feature () raptor_serializer_get_featureint raptor_serializer_get_feature (raptor_serializer *serializer, raptor_feature feature); Get various serializer features. The allowed features are available via raptor_features_enumerate(). Note: no feature value is negative serializer : raptor_serializer serializer object feature : feature to get value Returns : feature value or < 0 for an illegal feature raptor_serializer_get_feature_string () raptor_serializer_get_feature_stringconst unsigned char* raptor_serializer_get_feature_string (raptor_serializer *serializer, raptor_feature feature); Get serializer features with string values.
