NAME

RDF::Trine::Node::Literal - RDF Node class for literals

VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine::Node::Literal version 1.019

METHODS

Beyond the methods documented below, this class inherits methods from the RDF::Trine::Node class.

"new ( $string, $lang, $datatype, $canonical_flag )"
Returns a new Literal structure.
"literal_value"
Returns the string value of the literal.
"literal_value_language"
Returns the language tag of the ltieral.
"literal_datatype"
Returns the datatype of the literal.
"value"
Returns the literal value.
"sse"
Returns the SSE string for this literal.
"as_string"
Returns a string representation of the node.
"as_ntriples"
Returns the node in a string form suitable for NTriples serialization.
"type"
Returns the type string of this node.
"has_language"
Returns true if this literal is language-tagged, false otherwise.
"has_datatype"
Returns true if this literal is datatyped, false otherwise.
"equal ( $node )"
Returns true if the two nodes are equal, false otherwise.
"canonicalize"
Returns a new literal node object whose value is in canonical form (where applicable).
"canonicalize_literal_value ( $string, $datatype, $warn )"
If $datatype is a recognized datatype, returns the canonical lexical representation of the value $string. Otherwise returns $string.

Currently, xsd:integer, xsd:decimal, and xsd:boolean are canonicalized. Additionally, invalid lexical forms for xsd:float, xsd:double, and xsd:dateTime will trigger a warning.

"is_canonical_lexical_form"
"is_valid_lexical_form"
Returns true if the node is of a recognized datatype and has a valid lexical form for that datatype. If the lexical form is invalid, returns false. If the datatype is unrecognized, returns zero-but-true.
"is_numeric_type"
Returns true if the literal is a known (xsd) numeric type.
"numeric_value"
Returns the numeric value of the literal (even if the literal isn't a known numeric type.
