Views

This cube provides a jsonld view with two different implementations.

jsonld for CWEType

The jsonld view for CWEType entities is accessible either explicitly or through the BASE_URL/<etype>.jsonld url. It provides schema information using the jsonld specification.

Assuming you have the following schema declaration:

class Person(EntityType):
    name = String()
    age = Int()
    birthdate = Date()

The corresponding jsonld output will be:

{
    "@context": {
        "xsd": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#",
        "creation_date": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWRType/creation_date",
          "@type": "xsd:dateTime"
        },
        "modification_date": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWRType/modification_date",
          "@type": "xsd:dateTime"
        },
        "cwuri": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWRType/cwuri",
          "@type": "@id"
        },
        "eid": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWRType/eid",
          "@type": "xsd:integer"
        },
        "name": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWAttribute/278",
          "@type": "xsd:string"
        },
        "age": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWAttribute/281",
          "@type": "xsd:string"
        },
        "birthdate": {
          "@id": "https://my-app.org/CWAttribute/301",
          "@type": "xsd:date"
        }
    }
}

jsonld for any rset

This view is somewhat similar to the standard jsonexport one with two main differences:

• it provides resultset metadata alongside the actual data and tries to be as close as possible to the general shape of the sparql-results-json format,

• each cell is exposed as a “jsonld” object. Entities expose all their attributes and dc properties, “final” values expose their type and value.

Considering the RQL query Any P,N LIMIT 2 WHERE P is Person, P name N, the jsonld output would look like:

{
    "@context": {
        "cw": "http://ns.cubicweb.org/cubicweb/0.0/",
        "xsd": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#",
        "dcterms": "http://purl.org/dc/terms/",
        "myapp": "https://my-app.org/CWEType/"
    },
    "cw:head": {
        "rql": "Any P,N LIMIT 2 WHERE P is Person, P name N",
        "vars": ["P", "N"],
        "limit": 2
    },
    "cw:results": [
        [{
            "@context": "https://my-app.org/Person.jsonld",
            "@type": "myapp:Person",
            "cwuri": "https://my-app.org/1234",
            "name": "John",
            "age": 42,
            "birthdate": "2013/01/01",
            "creation_date": "2009/08/07 15:20:30",
            "modification_date": "2009/08/05 11:12:24",
            "eid": 1234,
            "dcterms:title": "the result of p.dc_title() on John",
            "dcterms:description": null
        },
        {
            "@type": "xsd:string",
            "@value": "John"
        }],
       [{
            "@context": "https://my-app.org/Person.jsonld",
            "@type": "myapp:Person",
            "cwuri": "https://my-app.org/4321",
            "name": "Mary",
            "age": 40,
            "birthdate": "2015/02/02",
            "creation_date": "2014/01/02 11:30:20",
            "modification_date": "2015/01/05 12:24:11",
            "eid": 4321,
            "dcterms:title": "the result of p.dc_title() on Mary",
            "dcterms:description": null
       },
        {
            "@type": "xsd:string",
            "@value": "Mary"
        }]
    ]
}
