## NAME

RDF::Redland::Serializer - Redland RDF Serializing to Syntax Class

## SYNOPSIS

```

## DESCRIPTION

This class represents serializers that turn RDF graphs into various syntaxes. from an RDF::Redland::Model object.

## CONSTRUCTORS

- new \[NAME \[MIME\_TYPE \[URI\]\]\]

  Create a new RDF::Redland::Serializer object for a syntax serializer named *NAME*, with MIME Type *MIME\_TYPE* and/or URI *URI*.  Any field can be undef or omitted; if all are omitted, the default serializer is used, currently 'ntriples'.

## METHODS

- serialize\_model\_to\_file FILENAME BASE\_URI MODEL

  Serialize the RDF Graph *MODEL* as syntax with the base RDF::Redland::URI *BASE\_URI* to file *FILENAME*.

- serialize\_model\_to\_string BASE-URI MODEL

  Serialize the RDF Graph *MODEL* to a syntax.  If no serializer name is given, the default serializer RDF/XML is used.

- set\_namespace PREFIX URI

  Define a namespace *URI* with the supplied *PREFIX* for use in serializing an RDF Graph.

- feature URI \[VALUE\]

  Get/set a serializer feature.  The feature is named via RDF::Redland::URI *URI* and the value is a string.  If *VALUE* is given, the feature is set to that value, otherwise the current value is returned.
