Serializer now produces spec-compliant qnames with dots per Turtle 1.1 (e.g., ex:subject.example instead of ), rejecting only trailing dots. Added isValidPNLocal() validator, dotTerminatesName() helper, and shared wsOrHash regex. New optional serializer flag 'o' lets callers suppress dotted local qnames and keep the conservative form when desired. Fixed base-directory namespace handling to avoid spurious loc: prefix for relative URIs. Updated README with serializer flags documentation. ================================================================================ diff --git a/scratch-serialize.js b/scratch-serialize.js new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bedb2197 --- /dev/null +++ b/scratch-serialize.js @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +const $rdf = require('./lib'); +const kb = $rdf.graph(); +const base = 'http://example.com/'; +const doc = $rdf.sym(base + 'doc'); +// A URI in a different namespace so it can abbreviate to a prefix +const other = 'http://foo.test/ns/subject.example'; +kb.add($rdf.sym(base + 's'), $rdf.sym(base + 'p'), $rdf.sym(other), doc); + +function run(flags) { + const out = $rdf.serialize(doc, kb, doc.uri, 'text/turtle', undefined, { flags }); + console.log('FLAGS=' + flags + '\n' + out); +} + +run(''); +run('o'); diff --git a/src/serialize.ts b/src/serialize.ts index 1e5ef7ac..8e4437c7 100644 --- a/src/serialize.ts +++ b/src/serialize.ts @@ -72,7 +72,8 @@ export default function serialize ( return executeCallback(null, documentString) case TurtleContentType: case TurtleLegacyContentType: - sz.setFlags('si') // Suppress = for sameAs and => for implies + // Suppress = for sameAs and => for implies; preserve any user-specified flags (e.g., 'o') + sz.setFlags('si' + (opts.flags ?
