Load file(s) into the store

## NAME

oxigraph-load - Load file(s) into the store

## SYNOPSIS

**oxigraph load** \<**-l**\|**--location**\> \[**-f**\|**--file**\] \[**--format**\] \[**--base**\] \[**--lenient**\] \[**--graph**\] \[**-h**\|**--help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

Load file(s) into the store

Feel free to enable the --lenient option if you know your input is valid to get better performances.

## OPTIONS

- **-l**, **--location**=*LOCATION*

  Directory in which Oxigraph data are persisted

- **-f**, **--file**=*FILE*

  File(s) to load

  If multiple files are provided they are loaded in parallel.

  If no file is given, stdin is read.

- **--format**=*FORMAT*

  The format of the file(s) to load

  It can be an extension like "nt" or a MIME type like "application/n-triples".

  By default the format is guessed from the loaded file extension.

- **--base**=*BASE*

  Base IRI of the file(s) to load

- **--lenient**

  Attempt to keep loading even if the data file is invalid

  This disables most of validation on RDF content.

- **--graph**=*GRAPH*

  Name of the graph to load the data to

  By default the default graph is used.

  Only available when loading a graph file (N-Triples, Turtle...) and not a dataset file (N-Quads, TriG...).

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print help (see a summary with '-h')
