NTriplesCodec class final

Format definition for the N-Triples RDF serialization format.

N-Triples is a line-based, plain text RDF serialization format defined by the W3C. It is a simplified subset of Turtle, where each line represents exactly one triple statement. N-Triples is designed to be simple to parse and generate.

The format is specified in the RDF 1.1 N-Triples W3C Recommendation.

N-Triples characteristics:

  • Each line contains exactly one triple statement
  • No abbreviations or prefixes are supported
  • Everything is written out explicitly, making it verbose but simple
  • All IRIs are enclosed in angle brackets
  • The format is line-based, making it easy to process with standard text tools

Example N-Triples document:

<http://example.org/subject> <http://example.org/predicate> <http://example.org/object> .
<http://example.org/subject> <http://example.org/predicate> "Literal value" .
<http://example.org/subject> <http://example.org/predicate> "Value"@en .
