Titanium JSON-LD 1.1 Processor & API

An implementation of the JSON-LD 1.1 (JSON-based Serialization for Linked Data) specification in Java utilizing Jakarta JSON Processing.

Goals

• conformance to the specification
• secure, stable, fast, A+ code (covered by ~1800 tests)
• minimal external dependencies
  • only jakarta.json-api is required
• simple to use

Status

Extensions

• LD-CLI is a native command line utility for Ubuntu, Mac, Windows
• JSON-LD-star expansion and compaction built-in support (experimental)
• Universal RDF Dataset Normalization Algorithm - URDNA2015
• Iridium CBOR-LD a CBOR-based Processor for Linked Data
• LEXREX semantic vocabularies visual builder and manager

Conformance

See EARL results from the JSON-LD 1.1 Test Suite for more details.

Examples

Titanium provides high-level JsonLd API to interact with the processor.

Transformations

// Expansion
JsonLd.expand("https://w3c.github.io/json-ld-api/tests/expand/0001-in.jsonld")
      .ordered()
      .get();

JsonLd.expand("file:/home/filip/document.json")    // HTTP(S) and File schemes supported
      .context("file:/home/filip/context.jsonld")  // external context
      .get();

// Compaction
JsonLd.compact("https://example/expanded.jsonld", "https://example/context.jsonld")
      .compactToRelative(false)
      .get();

// Flattening
JsonLd.flatten("https://example/document.jsonld").get();

// JSON-LD to RDF
JsonLd.toRdf("https://example/document.jsonld").get();

// RDF to JSON-LD
JsonLd.fromRdf("https://example/document.nq").options(options).get();

// Framing
JsonLd.frame("https://example/document.jsonld", "https://example/frame.jsonld").get();

Local JSON Document

Document document = JsonDocument.of(InputStream) or JsonDocument.of(Reader) ...

JsonLd.expand(document).get();

JsonLd.compact(document, contextDocument).get();
...

Processing Timeout [experimental]

A processor gets terminated eventually after a specified time. Please note the duration does not cover DocumentLoader processing time. You have to set-up a read timeout separately.

// since 1.4.0
JsonLd.expand(...).timeout(duration)...get();

HTTP Document Loader Timeout

Configure and set a custom HTTP document loader instance.

// since 1.4.0 - set read timeout
static DocumentLoader LOADER = HttpLoader.defaultInstance().timeount(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
...
JsonLd.expand(...).loader(LOADER).get();

Document caching

Configure LRU-based cache for loading documents. The argument determines size of the LRU-cache.

// since 1.4.0
JsonLd.toRdf("https://example/document.jsonld").loader(new LRUDocumentCache(loader, capacity)).get();

You can share an instance of LRUDocumentCache among multiple calls to reuse cached documents.

// since 1.4.0
DocumentLoader cachedLoader = new LRUDocumentCache(loader, capacity);

JsonLd.toRdf("https://example/document.jsonld").loader(cachedLoader).get();
JsonLd.toRdf("https://example/another-document.jsonld").loader(cachedLoader).get();

Undefined Terms Processing Policy

Set processing policy on undefined terms. Ignore by default.

// since 1.4.1
JsonLd.expand(...).undefinedTermsPolicy(Fail|Warn|Ignore).get();
