public class Syntax
extends java.lang.Object

Class for RDF syntaxes, and registry for them. A framework can register new syntaxes by creating them with the constructor that automatically registers, or by calling the register(Syntax) method. You can chose to use a Syntax in your application without registering it.

Constructor Detail

Syntax

public Syntax(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.String mimeType,
              java.lang.String filenameExtension)

Generate a new Syntax

Parameters:

name - the name of the RDF syntax

mimeType - the MIMEtype of the RDF syntax

Syntax

public Syntax(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.String mimeType,
              java.lang.String filenameExtension,
              boolean registerItNow)

Generate a new Syntax and register it

Parameters:

name - the name of the RDF syntax

mimeType - the MIMEtype of the RDF syntax

registerItNow - register the new Syntax now.

Method Detail

register

public static void register(Syntax syntax)

register a new RDF Syntax you want to have available throughout your application.

Parameters:

syntax - the new syntax to register.

forName

public static Syntax forName(java.lang.String name)

return the RDF syntax with the given name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the syntax to search

Returns:

the syntax or null, if none registered

forMimeType

public static Syntax forMimeType(java.lang.String mimeType)

return the RDF syntax with the given MIME-type.

Parameters:

mimeType - the MIME-type of the syntax to find

Returns:

the syntax or null, if none registered

unregister

public static boolean unregister(Syntax syntax)

unregister an RDF Syntax from which you know that your application will never ever support it. This may help you to build user interfaces where users can select RDF syntaxes. If the syntax was unknown, returns false

Parameters:

syntax - the syntax to unregister

Returns:

true, if the syntax was found and removed

list

public static java.util.List<Syntax> list()

list all available syntaxes. List is not modifyable.

Returns:

a list of available syntaxes

getMimeType

public java.lang.String getMimeType()

return the MIME-type of this format.

Returns:

the MIME type

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns:

the common name of this format

getFilenameExtension

public java.lang.String getFilenameExtension()

Returns:

the suggested filename-extension, including the leading '.'

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
