THIS LIBRARY WILL RECEIVE NO FURTHER UPDATES

Please use https://github.com/piprate/json-gold instead. See the details and further discussion here.

JSON-goLD

This library is an implementation of the JSON-LD 1.0 specification in Go. It supports both URDNA2015 and URGNA2012 RDF dataset normalisation algorithms.

Testing & Compliance

As of December 1, 2017:

• all JSON-LD 1.0 tests from the official JSON-LD test suite pass
• all RDF Dataset Normalisation tests from the current test suite pass
• JSON-LD 1.1 spec is not currenty supported

Inspiration

This implementation was heavily influenced by JSONLD-Java with some techniques borrowed from PyLD and gojsonld. Big thank you to the contributors of the forementioned libraries for figuring out implementation details of the core algorithms.

Examples

Expand

See complete code in examples/expand.go.

proc := ld.NewJsonLdProcessor()
