    },
  "homepage" => "http://manu.sporny.org/", 
  "name" => "Manu Sporny"}

RDF Reader and Writer

JSON-LD.ex can be used to serialize or deserialize RDF graphs by using it as a RDF.ex reader and writer.

dataset = JSON.LD.read_file!("file.jsonld")
JSON.LD.write_file!(dataset, "file.jsonld")

Pretty printing

Pretty printing is possible on all writer functions with all of the formatter options of Jason, the underlying JSON encoder, to which the given options are passed through.

JSON.LD.write_file!(dataset, "file.jsonld", pretty: true)
JSON.LD.write_string(dataset, "file.jsonld", pretty: [indent: "\t"])
