The Basic Linked Data Fragments client for browsers

Linked Data Fragments Browser Client

Try the Linked Data Fragments Web Client online.

This repository contains a browser interface to the Linked Data Fragments client.
In addition, it shows how to create applications using the ldf-client library.

How the browser client works

The original ldf-client library is written for the Node.js environment. This repository shows how to compile it using browserify to make it compatible with browsers.

The file browser.js makes the Node.js library ldf-client available in global scope as ldf.
This script is compiled with its dependencies to deps/ldf-client-browser.js via npm run postinstall.

You can use the resulting ldf-client-browser.js in your browser applications.

Examples in this repository

• query-ui: a user interface to execute SPARQL queries (demo)
• query-pull-based: retrieve results on-demand, instead of streaming them all

Compiling the browser client

$ npm install      # install dependencies and compile browser script
$ cd query-ui
$ ./build-queries  # create the JSON version of the example queries
$ ./build-minified # create a minified version in query-ui/build/
