RDF::T...Turtle(3pm)

💖 RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle — the Turtle Serializer, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is the manual for RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle, living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation zone. it's the class that takes your RDF graphs and turns them into Turtle syntax. iconic behavior honestly. 🐢✨

---

✨ VERSION ✨

this doc is describing RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle version 1.019. write it down, it's on the quiz. 📝

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe in four lines, no notes:

use RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle;
my $serializer = RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle->new( namespaces => { ex => 'http://example/' } );
print $serializer->serialize_model_to_string($model);

see how easy that was?? you import it, you build a serializer with a namespace map, you print your model out as Turtle. slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so RDF::Trine::Serializer::Turtle is a whole class that gives you an API for serializing RDF graphs into Turtle syntax. that's the whole job and she does it gorgeously.

and here's the cute part: XSD numeric types get serialized as bare literals — no extra wrapping, no drama, just the number. and whenever it's possible, it uses the more concise syntax for rdf:Lists. she's efficient, she's tidy, she's that girl. 👑

---

💫 METHODS 💫

lowkey important note first: beyond everything listed down here, this class also inherits methods from the RDF::Trine::Serializer class. so there's lore beyond this page, iykyk. 🫶

---

💖 new ( namespaces => \%namespaces, base_uri => $base_uri )

returns a brand new Turtle serializer object. that's it, that's the function. give her namespaces, maybe a base uri, and she's ready. ✨

---

🎀 serialize_model_to_file ( $fh, $model )

serializes $model into Turtle, and prints the results into the filehandle you hand her — that's <$fh>. she writes, you relax. 💖

---

🌈 serialize_model_to_string ( $model )

same energy, different delivery: serializes $model into Turtle and returns the whole thing as a string. perfect for when you wanna keep it, print it, or send it to the group chat. 📩

---

🧚 serialize_iterator_to_file ( $file, $iter )

serializes the iterator into Turtle and prints the results into the supplied filehandle <$fh>. (yes, the signature says $file and the description says <$fh> — that's the original, we're not touching it, we don't edit the queen.) 🙈

---

🍓 serialize_iterator ( $sink, $iter )

serializes the iterator into Turtle, printing the results into the supplied sink object. sink object, bestie. it goes in the sink. 🚰

---

⭐ serialize_iterator_to_string ( $iter )

serializes the iterator into Turtle and returns the result as a string. string girlies rise. ✨

---

👑 serialize_node ( $node )

returns a string containing the Turtle serialization of $node. one node, one string, no cap. 💯

---

💜 node_as_concise_string

returns a string representation using common Turtle syntax shortcuts — think numeric literals and all that pretty abbreviated stuff. concise queen. 💅
