Class Detail

jQuery.rdf.literal(value, options)

Creates a new jQuery.rdf.literal object. This should be invoked as a method rather than constructed using new; indeed you will not usually want to generate these objects directly, since they are automatically created from strings where necessary, such as by jQuery.rdf#add.

trueLiteral = $.rdf.literal(true);

numericLiteral = $.rdf.literal(5);

dateLiteral = $.rdf.literal('"2009-07-13"^^xsd:date', { namespaces: ns });

Parameters:
{String|boolean|Number} value: Either the value of the literal or a string representation of it. If the datatype or lang options are specified, the value is taken as given. Otherwise, if it's a Javascript boolean or numeric value, it is interpreted as a value with a xsd:boolean or xsd:double datatype. In all other cases it's interpreted as a literal as defined in Turtle syntax.
{Object} options Optional: Initialisation options for the literal.
{String} options.datatype Optional: The datatype for the literal. This should be a safe CURIE; in other words, it can be in the format uri or [curie]. Must not be specified if options.lang is also specified.
{String} options.lang Optional: The language for the literal. Must not be specified if options.datatype is also specified.
{Object} options.namespaces Optional: An object representing a set of namespace bindings used when interpreting a CURIE in the datatype.
{String|jQuery.uri} options.base Optional: The base URI used to interpret a relative URI in the datatype.

Throws:
{String}: Errors if the string is not in a recognised format or if both options.datatype and options.lang are specified.

Returns:: {jQuery.rdf.literal} The newly-created literal.
