sdf-wot-converter 1.1.0

Converter between WoT TD and SDF (including protocol bindings).

SDF-WoT-Converter

This repository provides a Python-based converter from SDF to WoT TD including Thing Models.

The converter is both usable as a library and a command line tool. It provides conversion functions between WoT Thing Descriptions, WoT Thing Models and SDF Models (one for each combination). You can find a number of examples for the usage of the converter down below.

The CI pipeline is set up to automatically convert all (valid) models from the oneDM playground to WoT Thing Models and upload to the results to this repository.

Installation

You can install the converter using pip:

pip install sdf-wot-converter

Afterwards, it can be used both as a command line tool and a library.

Using the command line tool

After installing the libary you should be able to call the converter in your terminal using sdf-wot-converter and one of the six available subcommands:

• sdf-to-tm
• sdf-to-td
• td-to-tm
• td-to-sdf
• tm-to-td
• tm-to-sdf

You can display available parameters by typing sdf-wot-converter --help. A usage example for each subcommand can be found below.

Examples

# Convert an SDF model to a WoT Thing Model
sdf-wot-converter sdf-to-tm -i examples/sdf/example.sdf.json -o converted-example.tm.jsonld

# Convert an SDF model to a WoT Thing Description
sdf-wot-converter sdf-to-td -i examples/sdf/example.sdf.json --mapping-files examples/sdf/example.sdf-mapping.json -o converted-example.td.jsonld

# Convert a WoT Thing Model to an SDF model
sdf-wot-converter tm-to-sdf -i examples/wot/example.tm.jsonld -o converted-example.sdf.json

# Convert a WoT Thing Model to a WoT Thing Description
sdf-wot-converter tm-to-td -i examples/wot/example-with-bindings.tm.jsonld -o converted-example.td.jsonld

# Convert a WoT Thing Description to an SDF model and a mapping file
sdf-wot-converter td-to-sdf -i examples/wot/example.td.jsonld -o converted-example.sdf.json --mapping-file-output converted-example.sdf-mapping.json

# Convert a WoT Thing Description to a WoT Thing Model
sdf-wot-converter td-to-tm -i examples/wot/example.td.jsonld -o converted-example.tm.jsonld

Using the library

With the converter installed, you can use also use it as a library in your own projects. Below you can see examples for how to convert an SDF model to a WoT Thing Model and back again. As you can see, nested definitions from sdfObjects or sdfThings are prefixed with the respective object or thing names.
