Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.jsonld-java:jsonld-java:'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.jsonld-java:jsonld-java:")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.jsonld-java</groupId>
	    <artifactId>jsonld-java</artifactId>
	    <version></version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.jsonld-java" % "jsonld-java" % ""
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.jsonld-java/jsonld-java ""]]

Readme

JSONLD-Java is looking for a maintainer

JSONLD-JAVA

This is a Java implementation of the JSON-LD 1.0 specification and the JSON-LD-API 1.0 specification.

Build Status Coverage Status

USAGE

From Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.jsonld-java</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonld-java</artifactId>
    <version>0.13.5</version>
</dependency>

Code example

// Open a valid json(-ld) input file
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("input.json");
// Read the file into an Object (The type of this object will be a List, Map, String, Boolean,
// Number or null depending on the root object in the file).
Object jsonObject = JsonUtils.fromInputStream(inputStream);
// Create a context JSON map containing prefixes and definitions
Map context = new HashMap();
// Customise context...
// Create an instance of JsonLdOptions with the standard JSON-LD options
JsonLdOptions options = new JsonLdOptions();
// Customise options...
// Call whichever JSONLD function you want! (e.g. compact)
Object compact = JsonLdProcessor.compact(jsonObject, context, options);
// Print out the result (or don't, it's your call!)
System.out.println(JsonUtils.toPrettyString(compact));

Processor options

The Options specified by the JSON-LD API Specification are accessible via the com.github.jsonldjava.core.JsonLdOptions class, and each JsonLdProcessor.* function has an optional input to take an instance of this class.

Controlling network traffic

Parsing JSON-LD will normally follow any external @context declarations. Loading these contexts from the network may in some cases not be desirable, or might require additional proxy configuration or authentication.

JSONLD-Java uses the Apache HTTPComponents Client for these network connections, based on the SystemDefaultHttpClient which reads standard Java properties like http.proxyHost.

The default HTTP Client is wrapped with a CachingHttpClient to provide a small memory-based cache (1000 objects, max 128 kB each) of regularly accessed contexts.

Loading contexts from classpath

Your application might be parsing JSONLD documents which always use the same external @context IRIs. Although the default HTTP cache (see above) will avoid repeated downloading of the same contexts, your application would still initially be vulnerable to network connectivity.

To bypass this issue, and even facilitate parsing of such documents in an offline state, it is possible to provide a 'warmed' cache populated from the classpath, e.g. loaded from a JAR.

In your application, simply add a resource jarcache.json to the root of your classpath together with the JSON-LD contexts to embed. (Note that you might have to recursively embed any nested contexts).

The syntax of jarcache.json is best explained by example:

[
  {
    "Content-Location": "http://www.example.com/context",
    "X-Classpath": "contexts/example.jsonld",
    "Content-Type": "application/ld+json"
  },
  {
    "Content-Location": "http://data.example.net/other",
    "X-Classpath": "contexts/other.jsonld",
    "Content-Type": "application/ld+json"
  }
]

(See also core/src/test/resources/jarcache.json).

This will mean that any JSON-LD document trying to import the @context http://www.example.com/context will instead be given contexts/example.jsonld loaded as a classpath resource.

The X-Classpath location is an IRI reference resolved relative to the location of the jarcache.json - so if you have multiple JARs with a jarcache.json each, then the X-Classpath will be resolved within the corresponding JAR (minimizing any conflicts).

Additional HTTP headers (such as Content-Type above) can be included, although these are generally ignored by JSONLD-Java.

Unless overridden in jarcache.json, this Cache-Control header is automatically injected together with the current Date, meaning that the resource loaded from the JAR will effectively never expire (the real HTTP server will never be consulted by the Apache HTTP client):

Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 13:25:08 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=2147483647

The mechanism for loading jarcache.json relies on Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() to locate resources from the classpath - if you are running on a command line, within a framework (e.g. OSGi) or Servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) this should normally be set correctly. If not, try:

ClassLoader oldContextCL = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
try { 
    Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader());
    JsonLdProcessor.expand(input);   // or any other JsonLd operation
} finally { 
    // Restore, in case the current thread was doing something else
    // with the context classloader before calling our method
    Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(oldContextCL);
}

To disable all remote document fetching, when using the default DocumentLoader, set the following Java System Property to "true" using:

System.setProperty("com.github.jsonldjava.disallowRemoteContextLoading", "true");

You can also use the constant provided in DocumentLoader for the same purpose:

System.setProperty(DocumentLoader.DISALLOW_REMOTE_CONTEXT_LOADING, "true");

Note that if you override DocumentLoader you should also support this setting for consistency and security.

Loading contexts from a string

Your application might be parsing JSONLD documents which reference external @context IRIs that are not available as file URIs on the classpath. In this case, the jarcache.json approach will not work. Instead you can inject the literal context file strings through the JsonLdOptions object, as follows:

// Inject a context document into the options as a literal string
DocumentLoader dl = new DocumentLoader();
JsonLdOptions options = new JsonLdOptions();
// ... the contents of "contexts/example.jsonld"
String jsonContext = "{ \"@context\": { ... } }";
dl.addInjectedDoc("http://www.example.com/context",  jsonContext);
options.setDocumentLoader(dl);

InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("input.json");
Object jsonObject = JsonUtils.fromInputStream(inputStream);
Map context = new HashMap();
Object compact = JsonLdProcessor.compact(jsonObject, context, options);
System.out.println(JsonUtils.toPrettyString(compact));

Customizing the Apache HttpClient

To customize the HTTP behaviour (e.g. to disable the cache or provide authentication credentials), you may want to create and configure your own CloseableHttpClient instance, which can be passed to a DocumentLoader instance using setHttpClient(). This document loader can then be inserted into JsonLdOptions using setDocumentLoader() and passed as an argument to JsonLdProcessor arguments.

Example of inserting a credential provider (e.g. to load a @context protected by HTTP Basic Auth):

Object input = JsonUtils.fromInputStream(..);
DocumentLoader documentLoader = new DocumentLoader();
        
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(
        new AuthScope("localhost", 443),
        new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password"));
       
CacheConfig cacheConfig = CacheConfig.custom().setMaxCacheEntries(1000)
        .setMaxObjectSize(1024 * 128).build();

CloseableHttpClient httpClient = CachingHttpClientBuilder
        .create()
        // allow caching
        .setCacheConfig(cacheConfig)
        // Wrap the local JarCacheStorage around a BasicHttpCacheStorage
        .setHttpCacheStorage(
                new JarCacheStorage(null, cacheConfig, new BasicHttpCacheStorage(
                        cacheConfig)))....
		
        // Add in the credentials provider
        .setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider);
        // When you are finished setting the properties, call build
        .build();

documentLoader.setHttpClient(httpClient);
        
JsonLdOptions options = new JsonLdOptions();
options.setDocumentLoader(documentLoader);
// .. and any other options        
Object rdf = JsonLdProcessor.toRDF(input, options);

PLAYGROUND

The jsonld-java-tools repository contains a simple application which provides command line access to JSON-LD functions

Initial clone and setup

git clone git@github.com:jsonld-java/jsonld-java-tools.git
chmod +x ./jsonldplayground

Usage

run the following to get usage details:

./jsonldplayground --help

For Developers

Compiling & Packaging

jsonld-java uses maven to compile. From the base jsonld-java module run mvn clean install to install the jar into your local maven repository.

Running tests

mvn test

or

mvn test -pl core

to run only core package tests

Code style

The JSONLD-Java project uses custom Eclipse formatting and cleanup style guides to ensure that Pull Requests are fairly simple to merge.

These guides can be found in the /conf directory and can be installed in Eclipse using "Properties>Java Code Style>Formatter", followed by "Properties>Java Code Style>Clean Up" for each of the modules making up the JSONLD-Java project.

If you don't use Eclipse, then don't worry, your pull requests can be cleaned up by a repository maintainer prior to merging, but it makes the initial check easier if the modified code uses the conventions.

Submitting Pull Requests

Once you have made a change to fix a bug or add a new feature, you should commit and push the change to your fork.

Then, you can open a pull request to merge your change into the master branch of the main repository.

Implementation Reports for JSONLD-Java conformance with JSONLD-1.0

The Implementation Reports documenting the conformance of JSONLD-Java with JSONLD-1.0 are available at:

https://github.com/jsonld-java/jsonld-java/tree/master/core/reports

Regenerating Implementation Report

Implementation Reports conforming to the JSON-LD Implementation Report document can be regenerated using the following command:

mvn test -pl core -Dtest=JsonLdProcessorTest -Dreport.format=<format>

Current possible values for <format> include JSON-LD (application/ld+json or jsonld), NQuads (text/plain, nquads, ntriples, nq or nt) and Turtle (text/turtle, turtle or ttl). * can be used to generate reports in all available formats.

Integration of JSONLD-Java with other Java packages

This is the base package for JSONLD-Java. Integration with other Java packages are done in separate repositories.

Existing integrations

Creating an integration module

Create a repository for your module

Create a GitHub repository for your module under your user account, or have a JSONLD-Java maintainer create one in the jsonld-java organisation.

Create maven module

Create pom.xml for your module

Here is the basic outline for what your module's pom.xml should look like

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

Make sure you edit the following:

  • project/artifactId : set this to jsonld-java-{module id}, where {module id} usually represents the RDF library you're integrating (e.g. jsonld-java-jena)
  • project/name : set this to JSONLD Java :: {Module Name}, wher {module name} is usually the name of the RDF library you're integrating.
  • project/description
  • project/developers/developer/... : Give youself credit by filling in the developer field. At least put your <name> in (see here for all available options).
  • project/dependencies/... : remember to add any dependencies your project needs

Import into your favorite editor

For Example: Follow the first few steps in the section above to import the whole jsonld-java project or only your new module into eclipse.

Create RDFParser Implementation

The interface com.github.jsonldjava.core.RDFParser is used to parse RDF from the library into the JSONLD-Java internal RDF format. See the documentation in RDFParser.java for details on how to implement this interface.

Create TripleCallback Implementation

The interface com.github.jsonldjava.core.JSONLDTripleCallback is used to generate a representation of the JSON-LD input in the RDF library. See the documentation in JSONLDTripleCallback.java for details on how to implement this interface.

Using your Implementations

RDFParser

A JSONLD RDF parser is a class that can parse your frameworks' RDF model and generate JSON-LD.

There are two ways to use your RDFParser implementation.

Register your parser with the JSONLD class and set options.format when you call fromRDF

JSONLD.registerRDFParser("format/identifier", new YourRDFParser());
Object jsonld = JSONLD.fromRDF(yourInput, new Options("") {{ format = "format/identifier" }});

or pass an instance of your RDFParser into the fromRDF function

Object jsonld = JSONLD.fromRDF(yourInput, new YourRDFParser());

JSONLDTripleCallback

A JSONLD triple callback is a class that can populate your framework's RDF model from JSON-LD - being called for each triple (technically quad).

Pass an instance of your TripleCallback to JSONLD.toRDF

Object yourOutput = JSONLD.toRDF(jsonld, new YourTripleCallback());

Integrate with your framework

Your framework might have its own system of readers and writers, where you should register JSON-LD as a supported format. Remember that here the "parse" direction is opposite of above, a 'reader' may be a class that can parse JSON-LD and populate an RDF Graph.

Write Tests

It's helpful to have a test or two for your implementations to make sure they work and continue to work with future versions.

Write README.md

Write a README.md file with instrutions on how to use your module.

Submit your module

Once you've committed your code, and pushed it into your github fork you can issue a Pull Request so that we can add a reference to your module in this README file.

Alternatively, we can also host your repository in the jsonld-java organisation to give it more visibility.

2013-05-07

  • Changed base package names to com.github.jsonldjava
  • Reverted version to 0.1-SNAPSHOT to allow version incrementing pre 1.0 while allowing a 1.0 release when the json-ld spec is finalised.
  • Turned JSONLDTripleCallback into an interface.

2013-04-18

  • Updated to Sesame 2.7.0, Jena 2.10.0, Jackson 2.1.4
  • Fixing a character encoding issue in the JSONLDProcessorTests
  • Bumping to 1.0.1 to reflect dependency changes

2012-10-30

  • Brought the implementation up to date with the reference implementation (minus the normalization stuff)
  • Changed entry point for the functions to the static functions in the JSONLD class
  • Changed the JSONLDSerializer to an abstract class, requiring the implementation of a "parse" function. The JSONLDSerializer is now passed to the JSONLD.fromRDF function.
  • Added JSONLDProcessingError class to handle errors more efficiently

Considerations for 1.0 release / optimisations

  • The Context class is a Map and many of the options are stored as values of the map. These could be made into variables, whice should speed things up a bit (the same with the termDefinitions variable inside the Context).
  • some sort of document loader interface (with a mockup for testing) is required
