jsonld-recursive

Recursively expand and compact JSON-LD documents with caching and chained URL mappings.

Installation

npm install jsonld-recursive

Quick Start

CLI

# Standalone
ldr compact https://example.com/data.jsonld -d 3

# With server
ldr server start
ldr compact https://example.com/data.jsonld -d 3 --server
ldr server stop

Python

from lib.ldr_client import LdrClient

# Auto-start server
with LdrClient(auto_start_server=True) as client:
    result = client.compact("https://example.com/data.jsonld", depth=3)

<script>
  await JsonLdExpand.compact('https://example.com/data.jsonld', {depth: 3});
</script>

Server Commands

# Start
ldr server start

# Start with port
ldr server start 8080

# Start with mappings file
ldr server start 3000 mappings.json

# Start with JSON mappings
ldr server start 3000 '{"cmip7:*":"https://example.com/${rest}"}'

# Stop
ldr server stop

# Status
ldr server status

# Or kill by name
pkill ldr-server

Chained URL Mappings

Apply multiple mappings in sequence:

{
  "cmip7:*": "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/${rest}",
  "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/*": "/home/user/local-cvs/${rest}"
}

Input: cmip7:experiment/graph.jsonld
Step 1: cmip7:* → https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/experiment/graph.jsonld
Step 2: https://.../* → /home/user/local-cvs/experiment/graph.jsonld
Result: Loads from local file

Set Mappings

CLI:

# From file
ldr mappings set mappings.json

# From JSON (no -m flag needed)
ldr mappings set '{"cmip7:*":"https://example.com/${rest}"}'

# Get current
ldr mappings get

# Clear
ldr mappings clear

Python:

with LdrClient(auto_start_server=True) as client:
    # Set chained mappings
    client.set_mappings({
        "cmip7:*": "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/${rest}",
        "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/*": "/home/user/local-cvs/${rest}"
    })
    
    result = client.compact("cmip7:experiment/graph.jsonld", depth=3)

Python Client

Basic Usage

from lib.ldr_client import LdrClient

with LdrClient() as client:
    result = client.compact("https://example.com/data.jsonld", depth=3)

Auto-start Server

# Server starts and stops automatically
with LdrClient(auto_start_server=True) as client:
    result = client.compact("https://example.com/data.jsonld", depth=3)

Multiple Requests

with LdrClient(auto_start_server=True) as client:
    urls = ["url1", "url2", "url3"]
    
    # Loop
    for url in urls:
        result = client.compact(url, depth=3)
    
    # Or batch
    results = client.compact_batch(urls, depth=3)

Runtime Mappings

with LdrClient(auto_start_server=True) as client:
    # Set mappings
    client.set_mappings({
        "cmip7:*": "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/${rest}",
        "https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/CMIP7-CVs/*": "/home/user/local/${rest}"
    })
    
    result = client.compact("cmip7:experiment/graph.jsonld", depth=3)
    
    # Update
    client.set_mappings({"new:*": "https://new.com/${rest}"})
    
    # Clear
    client.clear_mappings()

CLI Usage

# Standalone (no server)
ldr compact <url> -d 3

# With server (caching)
ldr compact <url> -d 3 --server

# Server management
ldr server start [port] [mappings.json]
ldr server stop
ldr server status

# Mappings (server must be running)
ldr mappings get
ldr mappings set mappings.json
ldr mappings set '{"prefix:*":"https://example.com/${rest}"}'
ldr mappings clear
