File formats

sparqld selects a parser from a file's extension. Every loaded source is loaded into its own named graph and participates in the same watching and error-reporting behavior. Dataset formats load their declared named graphs; see Named graphs.

  • JSON-LD

    .json, .jsonld

    Linked data in JSON. Declare any terms and keyword aliases in the document's @context.

  • YAML-LD

    .yamlld

    JSON-LD authored as YAML 1.2.

  • Markdown-LD

    .md

    YAML-LD front matter. Any YAML front matter is treated as linked data; the Markdown body is ignored, and Markdown without YAML front matter is ignored entirely.

    .n3

    Compact RDF graph syntax with additional Notation3 features.

    Line-oriented RDF dataset syntax.

    Turtle syntax for RDF datasets.

  • Turtle

    .ttl

Contexts

JSON-LD, YAML-LD, and Markdown-LD use the contexts their documents declare. See Contexts for the supported dollar-keyword context and local context files.
