ISSUE-53: DataParser Interface and Arguments Upgrades
DataParser interfaces
DataParser Interface and Arguments Upgrades
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- RDFa 1.1 API
- Raised by:
- Nathan Rixham
- Opened on:
- 2010-10-28
- Description:
- In line with the proposals in ISSUE-51, this issue primarily allows parsers to keep a light memory footprint, which often needed, especially on mobile devices.
Web IDL:
[NoInterfaceObject]
[Constructor, Constructor(in DataContext context)]
interface DataParser {
boolean parse (in any toparse, ParserCallback callback, in optional RDFTripleCallback filter, in optional ??? x);
boolean process (in any toparse, in DataProcessor processor, in optional RDFTripleCallback filter);
};
[NoInterfaceObject Callback]
interface DataProcessor {
void process (RDFTriple triple);
};
[Callback]
interface ParserCallback {
void run(in ??? x);
};
The poorly defined "??? x" param on DataParser and ParserCallback will be either DataStore or RDFGraph
Changes:
DataParser.parse gains an optional filter which allows only triples matching a given filter to be added to the store.
DataParser.parse has it's argument swapped around to align with process and to promote async usage.
Setting the second param to a ParserCallback (below) ensures the API is async by default, if no graph is passed in (as fourth param) then a new graph/store is created, if "x" is provided and callback is null then API flips in to sync mode (after parsing the completed graph/store is populated with triples from default graph).
DataParser.process is added which rather than adding triples to a store, executes a given callback on each triple, thus allowing say all telephone numbers in a document to be highlighted without storing any data / increasing memory usage, this method also has the optional `filter` property functioning the same as that on DataParser.parse.
DataParser gains a constructor parameter which accepts a DataContext, as parsers require access to TypedLiteral conversion functions, and to the create*** methods.
A new DataProcessor Callback interface is added with only one parameter, triple (to keep things light).
A new ParserCallback (name tbd) Callback interface is added with only one parameter, which will be RDFGraph or DataStore. - Related Actions Items:
