rdfpipe-rs

Warning

This is a WIP repository, it is not yet stable.

rdfpipe-rs is meant to replicate the command line interface of rdfpipe, a python-based command line tool bundled with rdflib that allows conversion between RDF exchange file formats (turtle, json-ld, rdf/xlm, ntriples, ...). The goal of rdfpipe-rs is to be a drop in replacement which provides better performance to handle larger files.

Current status

rdfpipe-rs is still missing the following features:

• json-ld support
• quad support (named graphs)
• --ns option for explicit namespace binding

Installation

The package must be compiled from source using cargo:

git clone https://github.com/sdsc-ordes/rdfpipe-rs
cd rdfpipe-rs
cargo build --release
# executable binary located in ./target/release/rdfpipe-rs

Usage

The command line interface follows rdfpipe's as closely as possible:

$ rdfpipe-rs --help

RDF conversion tool

Usage: rdfpipe-rs [OPTIONS] [INPUT_FILE]

Arguments:
  [INPUT_FILE]  Input file. Omit or use - for stdin. [default: -]

Options:
      --no-guess                       Don't guess format based on file suffix.
      --no-out                         Don't output the resulting graph (useful for checking validity of input).
  -i, --input-format <INPUT_FORMAT>    Input RDF serialization format [possible values: turtle, n-triples, rdf-xml]
  -o, --output-format <OUTPUT_FORMAT>  Output RDF serialization format [default: turtle] [possible values: turtle, n-triples, rdf-xml]
  -h, --help                           Print help
