# libraptor2

Raptor is a free software / Open Source C library that provides a set of parsers and serializers that generate Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples by parsing syntaxes or serialize the triples into a syntax.
The supported parsing syntaxes are RDF/XML, N-Triples, Turtle, RSS tag soup including Atom 0.3 and the serializing syntaxes are RDF/XML, N-Triples and RSS 1.0.
Raptor was designed to work closely with the Redland RDF library (RDF Parser Toolkit for Redland) but is entirely separate. It is a portable library that works across many POSIX systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, BSDs, OSX, cygwin, win32). Raptor has no memory leaks and is fast.
