Interface IRdfWriter

Interface to be implemented by RDF Writers which generate RDF Concrete Syntax.

Namespace: VDS.RDF

Assembly: dotNetRdf.dll

Syntax

public interface IRdfWriter

Methods

Save(IGraph, TextWriter)

Method for Saving a Graph to a Concrete RDF Syntax via some arbitrary TextWriter.

Declaration

void Save(IGraph g, TextWriter output)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IGraph	g	The Graph to Save.
TextWriter	output	The TextWriter to save the Graph to.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
RdfException	Thrown if the RDF in the Graph is not representable by the Writer.
IOException	Thrown if the Writer is unable to write to the underlying storage of the TextWriter specified in the output.

Save(IGraph, TextWriter, bool)

Method for saving a graph to a concrete RDF syntax via some arbitrary TextWriter.

Declaration

void Save(IGraph g, TextWriter output, bool leaveOpen)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IGraph	g	The graph to save.
TextWriter	output	The TextWriter to save the graph to.
bool	leaveOpen	true to leave the stream open when the method completes;. false otherwise.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
RdfException	Thrown if the RDF in the graph is not representable by the writer.
IOException	Thrown if the writer is unable to write to the underlying storage of the TextWriter specified in the output.

Save(IGraph, string)

Method for Saving a Graph to a Concrete RDF Syntax in a file based format.

Declaration

void Save(IGraph g, string filename)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IGraph	g	The Graph to Save.
string	filename	The filename to save the Graph in.

Remarks

The output will be written in UTF-8 with no byte-order mark specified. To override this behaviour, call either Save(IGraph, string, Encoding) with the specific encoding to use, or Save(IGraph, TextWriter) with a TextWriter created with the required text encoding set.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
RdfException	Thrown if the RDF in the Graph is not representable by the Writer.
IOException	Thrown if the Writer is unable to write to the File.

Save(IGraph, string, Encoding)

Method for saving a graph to a concrete RDF syntax in a file-based format with a specific text encoding.

Declaration

void Save(IGraph g, string filename, Encoding fileEncoding)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IGraph	g	The graph to save.
string	filename	The path to the file to write to.
Encoding	fileEncoding	The text encoding to use when writing the file content.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
RdfException	Thrown if the RDF in the Graph is not representable by the Writer.
IOException	Thrown if the Writer is unable to write to the File.
