JSON-goLD

This library is an implementation of the JSON-LD 1.0 specification in Go. It supports both URDNA2015 and URGNA2012 RDF dataset normalisation algorithms.

The original library was written by Stan Nazarenko (@kazarena). See the full list of contributors here.

Testing & Compliance

As of December 1, 2017:

• all JSON-LD 1.0 tests from the official JSON-LD test suite pass
• all RDF Dataset Normalisation tests from the current test suite pass
• JSON-LD 1.1 spec is not currenty supported

Inspiration

This implementation was heavily influenced by JSONLD-Java with some techniques borrowed from PyLD and gojsonld. Big thank you to the contributors of the forementioned libraries for figuring out implementation details of the core algorithms.

Examples
