Member Function Documentation

const Backend* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverBackendByName

(

const QString &

name

)

Find a backend plugin by its name.

Returns:

the backend specified by name or null if could not be found.

const Backend* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverBackendByFeatures	(	BackendFeatures	features,
		const QStringList &	userFeatures = QStringList()
	)

Find a backend plugin by its features.

Parameters:

	features	The features that are requested, a combination of Soprano::BackendFeature flags.
	userFeatures	If features contain Backend::BackendFeatureUser this paramter states the additionally requested user features.

Returns:

a Backend that supports the features defined in features.

QList<const Backend*> Soprano::PluginManager::allBackends

(

)

Find a backend plugin by its name.

Returns:

the backend specified by name or null if could not be found.

const Parser* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverParserByName

(

const QString &

name

)

Find a parser plugin by its name.

Returns:

the parser specified by name or null if could not be found.

const Parser* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverParserForSerialization	(	RdfSerialization	serialization,
		const QString &	userSerialization = QString()
	)

Find a Parser instance that is able to parse RDF data serialized as serialization.

Parameters:

	serialization	The requested serialization.
	userSerialization	If serialization is set to Soprano::SerializationUser this parameter specifies the serialization to use. It allows the extension of the Soprano Parser interface with new RDF serializations that are not officially supported by Soprano.

Returns:

A Parser plugin that can parse RDF data encoded in the requested serialization or 0 if no such plugin could be found.

QList<const Parser*> Soprano::PluginManager::allParsers

(

)

Find a parser plugin by its name.

Returns:

the parser specified by name or null if could not be found.

const Serializer* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverSerializerByName

(

const QString &

name

)

Find a serializer plugin by its name.

Returns:

the serializer specified by name or null if could not be found.

const Serializer* Soprano::PluginManager::discoverSerializerForSerialization	(	RdfSerialization	serialization,
		const QString &	userSerialization = QString()
	)

Find a Serializer instance that is able to encode RDF data using serialization.

Parameters:

	serialization	The requested serialization.
	userSerialization	If serialization is set to Soprano::SerializationUser this parameter specifies the serialization to use. It allows the extension of the Soprano Serializer interface with new RDF serializations that are not officially supported by Soprano.

Returns:

A Serializer plugin that can serialize RDF data encoded in the requested serialization or 0 if no such plugin could be found.

QList<const Serializer*> Soprano::PluginManager::allSerializers

(

)

Find a serializer plugin by its name.

Returns:

the serializer specified by name or null if could not be found.

static PluginManager* Soprano::PluginManager::instance

(

)
