How to use

Install by pip.

pip install SPARQLTransformer

Use in your JS application (node or browser).

from SPARQLTransformer import sparqlTransformer

out = sparqlTransformer(query, options)

The first parameter (query) is the query in the JSON format. The JSON can be:

• an already parsed (or defined real time) dict,
• the local path of a JSON file (that will then be read and parsed).

The options parameter is optional, and can define the following:

OPTION	DEFAULT	NOTE
context	http://schema.org/	The value in @context. It overwrites the one in the query.
sparqlFunction	None	A function receiving in input the transformed query in SPARQL, returning a Promise. If not specified, the module performs the query on its own1 against the specified endpoint.
endpoint	http://dbpedia.org/sparql	Used only if sparqlFunction is not specified.
debug	False	Enter in debug mode. This allow to print in console the generated SPARQL query.

See tests.py for further examples.
