curie

Implementation of the W3C CURIE Syntax 1.0, based on Bruce Mitchener, Jr.'s Rust crate.

CURIEs are a compact way of representing a URI, consisting of an optional prefix and a reference, separated by a colon. They are commonly used in JSON-LD, RDF, SPARQL, XML namespaces and other applications.

This library provides classes and methods for creating and manipulating CURIEs, making them easier to handle in your libraries and applications.

Usage

A simple example for how to use the package can be found below and in the /example folder.

import 'package:curie/curie.dart';

void main() {
  // Initialize a prefix mapper.
  final mapper = PrefixMapping()
    ..addPrefix("foaf", "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
    // Set a default prefix value
    ..defaultPrefixValue = "http://example.com/";

  // Prints "http://example.com/Entity"
  print(mapper.expandCurieString("Entity"));

  // Prints "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent"
  print(mapper.expandCurieString("foaf:Agent"));

  final curie = Curie(prefix: "foaf", reference: "Agent");

  // Prints "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent"
  print(mapper.expandCurie(curie));

  // Creates a Curie object that prints "foaf:Agent"
  print(mapper.shrinkIri("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent"));
}
