The original ARP parser will be removed from Jena
The current RDF/XML parser is RRX.
This section details the Jena RDF/XML parser. ARP is the parsing subsystem in Jena for handling the RDF/XML syntax.
ARP Features
- Java based RDF parser.
- Compliant with RDF Syntax and RDF Test Cases Recommendations.
- Compliant with following standards and recommendations:
- xml:lang
xml:lang is fully supported, both in RDF/XML and any document embedding RDF/XML. Moreover, the language tags are checked against RFC1766, RFC3066, ISO639-1, ISO3166. - xml:base
xml:base is fully supported, both in RDF/XML and any document embedding RDF/XML. - URI
All URI references are checked against RFC2396. The treatment of international URIs implements the concept of RDF URI Reference. - XML Names
All rdf:ID’s are checked against the XML Names specification. - Unicode Normal Form C
String literals are checked for conformance with an early uniform normalization processing model. - XML Literals
rdf:parseType='Literal'is processed respecting namespaces, processing instructions and XML comments. This follows the XML exclusive canonicalizations recommendation with comments. - Relative Namespace URI references
Namespace URI references are checked in light of the W3C XML Plenary decision.
- xml:lang
- Command-line RDF/XML error checking.
- Can be used independently of Jena, with customizable
StatementHandler. - Highly configurable error processing.
- Xerces based XML parsing.
- Processes both standalone and embedded RDF/XML.
- Streaming parser, suitable for large files.
- Supports SAX and DOM, for integration with non-file XML sources.
