2022-01-28	Simplify input stream API	David Robillard	4	-42/+50
	More or less the same rationale as the previous commit, but for reading. This makes for nice symmetry with writing, at the cost of a slightly more annoying reader interface since the source doesn't know its block size or name.
2022-01-28	Simplify output stream API	David Robillard	5	-20/+21
	This makes the paging mechanism an internal detail once again. While it's conceptually elegant to simply have a single write interface and have the block dumper just be another implementation of that, unfortunately it is not practical. The inlining of serd_block_dumper_write() is a significant performance boost, because it avoids a non-inlinable function call of overhead per character. Compared to the SerdByteSink approach, this removes the burden and overhead of needing to dynamically allocate the structure itself.
2022-01-28	Provide a full output stream implementation for SerdBuffer	David Robillard	2	-0/+7
	Essentially replaces serd_buffer_sink_finish() with serd_buffer_close(), which makes writing to a buffer consistent with writing to a file or anything else.
2022-01-28	Put rdf:type properties first when pretty-printing	David Robillard	2	-1/+8
	This is a common convention in Turtle and TriG because the special "a" syntax for rdf type as the first property looks nice, makes things easier to read, and can be useful for streaming implementations because the type of the instance is known before reading its properties. Also significantly clean up the pretty-printing implementation in the process.
2022-01-28	Make tools read stdin by default	David Robillard	3	-6/+13

2022-01-28	Replace serdi with more fine-grained tools	David Robillard	7	-528/+1168
	Especially with the new functionality, the complexity of the command-line interface alone was really becoming unmanageable. The serdi implementation also had the highest cyclomatic complexity of the entire codebase by a huge margin. So, take a page from the Unix philosophy and split serdi into several more finely-honed tools that can be freely composed. Though there is still unfortunately quite a bit of option overlap between them due to the common details of reading RDF, I think the resulting tools are a lot easier to understand, both from a user and a developer perspective.
2022-01-28	Make blank node prefixing automatic	David Robillard	1	-36/+2
	Though potentially useful, I don't think the complexity cost of the old interface (both to the implementation and to the user) is worth it. A special tool to transform blank node labels (for example with regular expressions) would be a better approach to this if it's ever needed in the future.
2022-01-28	Split SERD_READ_VERBATIM into two more precise flags	David Robillard	1	-1/+2
	Although the "verbatim" idea is nice and simple, more fine-grained control is necessary since these features (relative URI preservation and blank node label clash avoidance) are useful in different situations.
2022-01-28	Add a reader flag to disable generated blank label avoidance	David Robillard	1	-0/+1

2022-01-28	Factor out serd_choose_input_syntax()	David Robillard	3	-13/+38

2022-01-28	Add a close function to SerdByteSink	David Robillard	2	-2/+3
	This simplifies everything by replacing special cases with a more general close function. A type is no longer stored in the structure, so the other constructors are now essentially syntactic sugar for the universal serd_byte_sink_new_function().
2022-01-28	Collapse input and output options into a single flag	David Robillard	3	-22/+95

2022-01-28	Simplify command line usage printing	David Robillard	1	-24/+27

2022-01-28	Remove redundant check for command line argument count	David Robillard	1	-4/+1

2022-01-28	Move serdi to tools subdirectory	David Robillard	4	-0/+715
	This separates the command-line tool code from the library implementation.
