DESCRIPTION

An RDFStore::Model serializer.

CONSTRUCTORS

The following methods construct RDFStore::Serializer:

new ()

Create an new RDFStore::Serializer object to serialize and RDFStore::Model.

METHODS

write ( MODEL [ , FILEHANDLE_REF, NAMESPACES, BASE ] )

Write out the given MODEL to FILEHANDLE_REF (or in-memory string if not passed) using a given list of NAMESPACES and xml:base BASE if passed. The NAMESPACES hash ref contains a list of namespace values (URI refs) and prefix names - see RDFStore::Vocabulary::Generator(3). By default the output is returned from the method into a string otheriwse a valid (and opened) FILEHANLDE_REF can be passed, which will be being printed to.

serialize ( MODEL [ , FILEHANDLE_REF, NAMESPACES, BASE ] )

Same as write method above.
