public class NQuads extends CharMarshaller
A pairing of a NQuadsSerializer and NQuadsParser into a single class with convenience to/of methods.
Examples:

// Serialize a bean or map to N-Quads String nquads = NQuads.of(myBean); // Parse N-Quads into a bean or map MyPojo parsed = NQuads.to(nquads, MyPojo.class);

// Using instance methods NQuads m = NQuads.DEFAULT; nquads = m.write(myBean); parsed = m.read(nquads, MyPojo.class);

Example output (bean with name/age, N-Triples with graph):

<...> <.../name> "Alice" <...> . <...> <.../age> "30"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int> <...> .

Complex (nested address + array):

<...> <.../name> "Alice" <graph> . <...> <.../address> <.../address> <graph> . <.../address> <.../street> "123 Main St" <graph> . <.../address> <.../city> "Boston" <graph> . <.../address> <.../state> "MA" <graph> .

// Using static shortcuts. MyPojo myPojo = NQuads.to(string, MyPojo.class); String string = NQuads.of(myPojo);
