It revolves +around two main types: @ref SerdReader, which reads text and fires callbacks, +and @ref SerdWriter, which writes text when driven by corresponding functions. +Both work in a streaming fashion but still support pretty-printing, so the pair +can be used to pretty-print, translate, or otherwise process arbitrarily large +documents very quickly. The stream context is maintained by @ref SerdEnv, +which stores the current base URI and set of namespace prefixes. + +[Turtle]: http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/ +[NTriples]: http://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/ +[NQuads]: http://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/ +[TriG]: http://www.w3.org/TR/trig/ |
