Create package for mime type utils about discussions HOT 11 CLOSED

A bit a suggestive title, what package name do you suggest for my foobar utils? ;)

see rdf-ext-archive/rdf-formats-common#1

@retog @nicola
I would like to move the ParserUtil and SerializerUtil class to the rdf-ext package. How would you name it? Just plural Parsers and Serializers? Should the class name contain media type? Any suggestions?

I think I want a package for like this one. I would prefer to not require two packages

@nicola We should keep this one. Maybe we rename it to rdf-common-formats or something like that in version 1.x. I just like to move the classes which manage the parsers and serialiers to the core lib. You still need to register the parsers and serialiers and the mime-type-utils package will still provide the same features. But that would allow to use the mime type handling with a reduce set of parsers and serialiers.

"Parsers and Serializers" if fine for me. As for the package that depends on all "known" parsers and serialize I think rdf-common-formats is good.

rdf-formats 👍

It's just common formats, rdf-formats seems misleading to me as it might be interpreted as to bee supporting all concrete syntaxes or worse to be required for using any concrete syntax.

I renamed the package to rdf-formats-common. I think that pattern is nicer, because we could have packages like rdf-formats-html in the future.

Great Name! (I was afraid you would name it after a space fog :) )

😄

But @nicola brought up a good point. I expect there will be a rc5...
