A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

It comprises the following crates:

• sophia_api defines a generic API for RDF and linked data, as a set of core traits and types; more precisely, it provides traits for describing
  • terms, triples and quads,
  • graphs and datasets,
  • parsers and serializers
• sophia_iri provides functions, types and traits for validating and resolving IRIs.
• sophia_inmem defines in-memory implementations of the Graph and Dataset traits from sophia_api.
• sophia_term defines various implementations of the Term trait from sophia_api.
• sophia_turtle provides parsers and serializers for the Turtle-family of concrete syntaxes.
• sophia_xml provides parsers and serializers for RDF/XML.
• sophia_jsonld provides preliminary support for JSON-LD.
• sophia_c14n implements RDF canonicalization.
• sophia_resource provides a resource-centric API.
• sophia_rio is a lower-level crate, used by the ones above.

and finally:

• sophia is the “all-inclusive” crate, re-exporting symbols from all the crates above. (actually, sophia_xml is only available if the xml feature is enabled)

In addition to the API documentation, a high-level user documentation is available (although not quite complete yet).

The following third-party crates are using or extending Sophia

• hdt provides an implementation of Sophia's traits based on the HDT format.
• manas is a modular framework for implementing Solid compatible servers
• nanopub is a toolkit for managing [nanopublications(https://nanopub.net/)

An outdated comparison of Sophia with other RDF libraries is still available here.
