sparqlxml-parse
Advanced tools
A utility package that allows you to parse SPARQL XML results in a convenient RDFJS-based datastructure.
For example, the following SPARQL XML result can be converted as follows:
In:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#">
<head>
<variable name="book"/>
</head>
<results>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book1</uri>
</binding>
</result>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book2</uri>
</binding>
</result>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book3</uri>
</binding>
</result>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book4</uri>
</binding>
</result>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book5</uri>
</binding>
</result>
</results>
</sparql>
Out:
[
{ '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book1') },
{ '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book2') },
{ '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book3') },
{ '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book4') },
{ '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book5') },
]
Where namedNode is an RDFJS named node.
This library automatically converts all SPARQL XML result values to their respective RDFJS type.
import {SparqlXmlParser} from "sparqlxml-parse";
const sparqlXmlParser = new SparqlXmlParser();
Optionally, you can provide a settings object to the constructor with optional parameters:
const sparqlXmlParser = new SparqlXmlParser({
dataFactory: dataFactory, // A custom RDFJS datafactory
prefixVariableQuestionMark: true, // If variable names in the output should be prefixed with '?', default is false.
});
If you have many query results, then a streaming-based approach
as provided by sparqlXmlParser.parseXmlResultsStream is ideal.
const sparqlJsonResponseStream = streamifyString(`<?xml version="1.0"?>
<sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#">
<head>
<variable name="book"/>
</head>
<results>
<result>
<binding name="book">
<uri>http://example.org/book/book1</uri>
</binding>
</result>
</results>
</sparql>`);
sparqlXmlParser.parseXmlResultsStream(sparqlJsonResponseStream)
.on('data', (bindings: IBindings) => console.log(bindings));
// This will output [ { '?book': namedNode('http://example.org/book/book1') } ]
Optionally, you can also retrieve the variables inside the head
as follows by listening to the variables event:
sparqlXmlParser.parseXmlResultsStream(sparqlJsonResponseStream)
.on('variables', (variables: RDF.Variable[]) => console.log(variables))
.on('data', (bindings: IBindings) => { return; });
// This will output [ variable('book') ]
const sparqlJsonResponseStream = streamifyString(`<?xml version="1.0"?>
<sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#">
<boolean>true</boolean>
</sparql>`);
sparqlXmlParser.parseXmlBooleanStream(sparqlJsonResponseStream)
.then((result: boolean) => console.log(result));
// This will output true
