[jira] [Commented] (ANY23-83) Remove hardcoded formats throughout Any23 to make it useful as a library

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-83?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13271707#comment-13271707 ] 

Lewis John McGibbney commented on ANY23-83:
-------------------------------------------

Having had a browse of both o.a.a.vocab.RDFSchemaUtils, and o.a.a.rdf.RDFUtils respectively, I understand where you are coming from. I also notice that you propose a more generic factory type implementation similar to Tika which (based on some criteria) guesses the specific parser which should be used per situation. What other mimetypes would we encounter other than the ones mentioned in both of the above classes as specified within the hardcoded RDFParsers?
I am interested to find out what you think. Thank you

> Many classes inside of Any23 seem to hardcode restrictions on the supported formats, making it difficult to utilise Any23 as an extensible library. 
> One example of this are RDFSchemaUtils that artificially restricts itself to three formats using an enum mapping, where it could easily accept any RDFHandler, even if it were not an RDFWriter. 
> Another example is RDFUtils where the list of RDFParser's is hardcoded in, and enforced using an enum.
> What was the reasoning for creating artificial format classes and manually mapping them to writers/parsers instead of using either allowing any RDFHandler in the first case, or allowing any accessible RDFParser in the second case, using Rio.getParser() to avoid hardcoding anything.
