A lazy sparql result reader
Readme
A fast SPARQL results parser for JavaScript and TypeScript, compiled from Rust via WebAssembly.
It reads streamed SPARQL query results and calls a callback for each parsed batch of bindings.
Features
- Processes streaming SPARQL results efficiently.
- Calls a JavaScript callback for each batch of parsed bindings.
- Written in Rust for speed and reliability.
- Fully compatible with TypeScript.
Usage Example
1. Install dependencies
npm install lazy-sparql-result-reader vite @vitejs/plugin-wasm2. Configure Vite for WASM
Create or update vite.config.ts:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import wasm from '@vitejs/plugin-wasm';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [wasm()],
});This allows Vite to correctly load WebAssembly modules.
3. Use the parser in your app
import init, { read } from "lazy-sparql-result-reader?init";
// Initialize the WASM module
await init();
fetch("https://qlever.dev/api/wikidata", {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
"Accept": "application/sparql-results+json",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8",
},
body: new URLSearchParams({
query: "SELECT * {?s ?p ?o} LIMIT 1000",
})
})
.then(async response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`SPARQL request failed: ${response.status}`);
}
const stream = response.body; // ReadableStream of the SPARQL JSON results
if (!stream) throw new Error("Response has no body stream");
// Parse the streamed results with the WASM parser
await read(stream, 100, (bindings) => {
console.log("Received batch of bindings:", bindings);
});
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error("Error fetching or parsing SPARQL results:", err);
});Notes
- The first callback invocation contains the SPARQL head, i.e., the variable names in the result set.
- Subsequent callback invocations contain batches of bindings as they are parsed.
batch_sizecontrols how many bindings are buffered before each callback.- Ensure your environment supports ReadableStream (modern browsers or Node.js >= 18).
This setup allows your JS/TS application to process streaming SPARQL results efficiently,
with immediate access to the head and incremental batches of bindings.
