# RDF::Trine::Serializer::RDFa(3pm)

RDFa Serializer for RDF::Trine

## NAME

RDF::Trine::Serializer::RDFa - RDFa Serializer for RDF::Trine

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use RDF::Trine::Serializer;
 my $s = RDF::Trine::Serializer->new('RDFa', style => 'HTML::Hidden');
 my $string = $s->serialize_model_to_string($model);
```

## DESCRIPTION

The RDF::Trine::Serializer class provides an API for serializing RDF graphs to strings and files. This subclass provides RDFa serialization via RDF::RDFa::Generator.

It is intended that this module will replace the RDF::Trine compatibility methods in RDF::RDFa::Generator, which are now deprecated. This is done to allow both RDF::Trine and Attean to use it, but not require them as dependencies.

## METHODS

Beyond the methods documented below, this class inherits methods from the RDF::Trine::Serializer class.

- "new"

  Returns a new RDFa serializer object. It can any arguments are passed on to RDF::RDFa::Generator, see it's documentation for details. This includes a `"style"` argument that names a module that formats the output. In addition, a `"generator_options"` argument may be passed. This is passed to the generator's `"create_document"` methods as options, and are typically used for style-specific configuration.

- "serialize\_model\_to\_file ( $fh, $model )"

  Serializes the `$model` to RDFa, printing the results to the supplied filehandle `"<$fh"`\>.

- "serialize\_model\_to\_string ( $model )"

  Serializes the `$model` to RDFa, returning the result as a string.

- "serialize\_iterator\_to\_file ( $file, $iter )"

  Serializes the iterator to RDFa, printing the results to the supplied filehandle `"<$fh"`\>.

- "serialize\_iterator\_to\_string ( $iter )"

  Serializes the iterator to RDFa, returning the result as a string.
