Sophia

A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

It comprises the following crates:

Core crates:
- sophia_api defines a generic API for RDF and linked data, as a set of core traits and types; more precisely, it provides traits for describing
  - terms, triples and quads,
  - graphs and datasets,
  - parsers and serializers
- sophia_iri provides functions, types and traits for validating and resolving IRIs.
- sophia_term defines various implementations of the Term trait from sophia_api.
- sophia_inmem defines in-memory implementations of the Graph and Dataset traits from sophia_api.
Parsers and serializers
- sophia_turtle provides parsers and serializers for the Turtle-family of concrete syntaxes.
- sophia_jsonld provides parsers and serializers for JSON-LD.
- sophia_xml provides parsers and serializers for RDF/XML.
- sophia_rio is a lower-level crate, used by the ones above.
Other
- sophia_c14n implements RDF canonicalization.
- sophia_isomorphism provides functions to determine if two graphs or datasets are isomorphic.
- [sophia_sparql] provides a (currently partial) implementation of the SPARQL 1.1 Query Language.
- sophia_sparql_client provides a client for the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol.
- sophia_resource provides a resource-centric API.
All-inclusive
- sophia re-exports symbols from all the crates above, with the following provisio:
  - sophia_jsonld is only available with the jsonld feature
  - sophia_sparql is only available with the sparql feature
  - sophia_sparql_client is only available with the http_client feature
  - sophia_xml is only available with the xml feature

In addition to the API documentation, a high-level user documentation is available (although not quite complete yet).
