Linked Data Content Negotiation for Sinatra Applications

This is a Sinatra extension that provides Linked Data content negotiation for Sinatra applications.

• Implements HTTP content negotiation for RDF content types using the [Rack::LinkedData][Rack::LinkedData] middleware.
• Supports all RDF.rb -compatible serialization formats.
• Supports both classic and modular Sinatra applications.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -rubygems
require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/linkeddata'

get '/hello' do
  RDF::Graph.new do |graph|
    graph << [RDF::Node.new, RDF::DC.title, "Hello, world!"]
  end
end

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -rubygems
require 'sinatra/base'
require 'sinatra/linkeddata'

module My
  class Application < Sinatra::Base
    register Sinatra::LinkedData

    get '/hello' do
      RDF::Graph.new do |graph|
        graph << [RDF::Node.new, RDF::DC.title, "Hello, world!"]
      end
    end
  end
end

My::Application.run! :host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 4567

#!/usr/bin/env rackup
require 'sinatra/base'
require 'sinatra/linkeddata'

module My
  class Application < Sinatra::Base
    register Sinatra::LinkedData

    get '/hello' do
      RDF::Graph.new do |graph|
        graph << [RDF::Node.new, RDF::DC.title, "Hello, world!"]
      end
    end
  end
end

run My::Application

$ rackup doc/examples/config.ru

$ curl -iH "Accept: application/n-triples" http://localhost:9292/hello
$ curl -iH "Accept: application/turtle" http://localhost:9292/hello
$ curl -iH "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://localhost:9292/hello
$ curl -iH "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:9292/hello
$ curl -iH "Accept: application/trix" http://localhost:9292/hello
$ curl -iH "Accept: */*" http://localhost:9292/hello

Sinatra::LinkedData is a thin Sinatra-specific wrapper around the [Rack::LinkedData][Rack::LinkedData] middleware, which implements Linked Data content negotiation for Rack applications.

At the moment the Sinatra extension simply corresponds to doing the following manually in a Sinatra application:

require 'rack/linkeddata'

module My
  class Application < Sinatra::Base
    use     Rack::LinkedData::ContentNegotiation
    helpers Sinatra::LinkedData::Helpers
    include RDF
    include LinkedData
  end
end

See the [Rack::LinkedData][Rack::LinkedData] documentation for more information on the operation and details of the content negotiation.
