NAME

sdml convert - Convert a module into an alternate representation.

SYNOPSIS

sdml convert [OPTIONS] --output-format <OUTPUT_FORMAT> [MODULE]

DESCRIPTION

Convert a module into an alternate representation.

This command allows the conversion of a module from the SDML surface syntax into one of a number of alternate representations.

- RDF :: This uses the surface to RDF mapping defined in the SDML Language Reference. The mapping is normative and stable.

- JSON :: This is a direct representation of the in-memory model in the Rust package `sdml_core` in JSON. This mapping is non-normative and may change according to any model structure change.

- S-Expression :: This is a debugging representation, and supported as the underlying tree-sitter library uses s-expressions as a parse-tree visualization.

Arguments:

[MODULE]
SDML module, loaded using the standard resolver
