Functions

raptor_new_world

#define raptor_new_world() raptor_new_world_internal(RAPTOR_VERSION)

Allocate a new raptor_world object.

Allocation of the world and initialization are decoupled to allow changing settings on the world object before init.

Settings and configuration of the world may be made after creating the object and before the world is initialized using methods such as raptor_world_set_flag(), raptor_world_set_log_handler(), raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_handler(). Some configuration may not be changed after initialization.

The raptor_world is initialized with raptor_world_open().

Parameters

version_decimal

raptor version as a decimal integer as defined by the macro RAPTOR_VERSION and static int raptor_version_decimal

 

Returns

uninitialized raptor_world object or NULL on failure


raptor_world_open ()

int
raptor_world_open (raptor_world *world);

Initialise the raptor library.

Initializes a raptor_world object created by raptor_new_world(). Allocation and initialization are decoupled to allow changing settings on the world object before init.

The initialized world object is used with subsequent raptor API calls.

Parameters

world

raptor_world object

 

Returns

non-0 on failure


raptor_free_world ()

void
raptor_free_world (raptor_world *world);

Terminate the raptor library.

Destroys the raptor_world object and all related information.

Parameters

world

raptor_world object

 

raptor_world_set_flag ()

int
raptor_world_set_flag (raptor_world *world,
                       raptor_world_flag flag,
                       int value);

Set library-wide configuration

This function is used to control raptor-wide options across classes. These options must be set before raptor_world_open() is called explicitly or implicitly (by creating a raptor object). There is no enumeration function for these flags because they are not user options and must be set before the library is initialised. For similar reasons, there is no get function.

See the raptor_world_flags documentation for full details of what the flags mean.

Parameters

world

world

 

flag

flag

 

value

value

 

Returns

0 on success, non-0 on failure: <0 on errors (-1 if flag is unknown, -2 if value is illegal) and >0 if world is already opened


raptor_world_set_libxslt_security_preferences ()

int
raptor_world_set_libxslt_security_preferences
                               (raptor_world *world,
                                void *security_preferences);

Set libxslt security preferences policy object

The security_preferences object will NOT become owned by raptor_world.

If libxslt is compiled into the library, security_preferences should be an xsltSecurityPrefsPtr and will be used to call xsltSetCtxtSecurityPrefs() when an XSLT engine is initialised. If security_preferences is NULL, this will disable all raptor's calls to xsltSetCtxtSecurityPrefs().

If libxslt is not compiled in, the object set here is not used.

Parameters

world

world

 

security_preferences

security preferences (an xsltSecurityPrefsPtr) or NULL

 

Returns

0 on success, non-0 on failure: <0 on errors and >0 if world is already opened


raptor_world_set_log_handler ()

int
raptor_world_set_log_handler (raptor_world *world,
                              void *user_data,
                              raptor_log_handler handler);

Set the message (error, warning, info) handling function.

The function will receive callbacks when messages are generated

Parameters

user_data

user data to pass to function

 

handler

pointer to the function

non-0 on failure

raptor_world_guess_parser_name ()

const char *
raptor_world_guess_parser_name (raptor_world *world,

                                size_t len,
                                const unsigned char *identifier);

Guess a parser name for content.

Find a parser by scoring recognition of the syntax by a block of characters, the content identifier or a mime type. The content identifier is typically a filename or URI or some other identifier.

If the guessing finds only low scores, NULL will be returned.

Parameters

world

world object

 

uri

URI identifying the syntax (or NULL)

 

mime_type

mime type identifying the content (or NULL)

 

buffer

buffer of content to guess (or NULL)

 

len

counter

index into the list of serializers

 

Returns

description or NULL if counter is out of range


raptor_world_is_serializer_name ()

int
raptor_world_is_serializer_name (raptor_world *world,
                                 const char *name);

Check name of a serializer.

Parameters

world

raptor_world object

 

name

the syntax name

 

Returns

non 0 if name is a known syntax name


raptor_world_generate_bnodeid ()

unsigned char *
raptor_world_generate_bnodeid (raptor_world *world);

Generate an new blank node ID

Parameters

world

raptor_world object

 

Returns

newly allocated generated ID or NULL on failure


raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_handler ()

void
raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_handler
                               (raptor_world *world,
                                void *user_data,
                                raptor_generate_bnodeid_handler handler);

Set the generate ID handler function.

Sets the function to generate IDs for the library. The handler is called with the user_data parameter.

The final argument of the callback method is user_bnodeid, the value of the rdf:nodeID attribute that the user provided if any (or NULL). It can either be returned directly as the generated value when present or modified. The passed in value must be free()d if it is not used.

If handler is NULL, the default method is used

Parameters

world

raptor_world world object

 

user_data

user data pointer for callback

 

handler

generate ID callback function

 

raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_parameters ()

void
raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_parameters
                               (raptor_world *world,
                                char *prefix,
                                int base);

Set default ID generation parameters.

Sets the parameters for the default algorithm used to generate IDs. The default algorithm uses both prefix and base to generate a new identifier. The exact identifier generated is not guaranteed to be a strict concatenation of prefix and base but will use both parts. The prefix parameter is copied to generate an ID.

For finer control of the generated identifiers, use raptor_world_set_generate_bnodeid_handler().

If prefix is NULL, the default prefix is used (currently "genid") If base is less than 1, it is initialised to 1.

Parameters

world

raptor_world object

 

prefix

prefix string

 

base

integer base identifier

 

raptor_world_get_parsers_count ()

int
raptor_world_get_parsers_count (raptor_world *world);

Get number of parsers

Parameters

world

world object

 

Returns

number of parsers or <0 on failure


raptor_world_get_serializers_count ()

int
raptor_world_get_serializers_count (raptor_world *world);

Get number of serializers

Parameters

world

world object

 

Returns

number of serializers or <0 on failure

Types and Values

raptor_world

typedef struct raptor_world_s raptor_world;

Raptor world class.


enum raptor_world_flag

Raptor world flags

These are used by raptor_world_set_flags() to control raptor-wide options across classes. These must be set before raptor_world_open() is called explicitly or implicitly (by creating a raptor object). There is no enumeration function for these flags because they are not user options and must be set before the library is initialised. For similar reasons, there is no get function.

If any libxml handler saving/restoring is enabled, any existing handler and context is saved before parsing and restored afterwards. Otherwise, no saving/restoring is performed.

Members

RAPTOR_WORLD_FLAG_LIBXML_GENERIC_ERROR_SAVE

if set (non-0 value) - save/restore the libxml generic error handler when raptor library initializes (default set)

 

RAPTOR_WORLD_FLAG_LIBXML_STRUCTURED_ERROR_SAVE

if set (non-0 value) - save/restore the libxml structured error handler when raptor library terminates (default set)

 

RAPTOR_WORLD_FLAG_URI_INTERNING

if set (non-0 value) - each URI is saved interned in-memory and reused (default set)

 

RAPTOR_WORLD_FLAG_WWW_SKIP_INIT_FINISH

if set (non-0 value) the raptor will neither initialise or terminate the lower level WWW library. Usually in raptor initialising either curl_global_init (for libcurl) are called and in raptor cleanup, curl_global_cleanup is called. This flag allows the application finer control over these libraries such as setting other global options or potentially calling and terminating raptor several times. It does mean that applications which use this call must do their own extra work in order to allocate and free all resources to the system.
