Java API for Thing Descriptions of the Web of Things

The JDT is an open (Apache 2.0) ORM implementation of the current Thing Description model standardised by the W3C Web of Things group. The current features are:

• Serialise:
  • Serialise any Thing Description as a Java Object, i.e., a JDT
  • Serialise a JDT from a JSON-LD framed document
  • Serialise a JDT from a set of RDF triples
• Round trip-translation:
  • Translate from a JSON-LD framed document into a set of equivalent RDF triples
  • Translate a set of RDF triples into its equivalent JSON-LD framed document
• Validation
  • Validate a JTD using SHACL shapes
  • Validate a JTD using JSON schema (coming soon)
  • Validate a JTD according to the restrictions specified in the standard (coming soon)

The JTD is distributed as a Maven dependency easy to install and use.
