If trying to dereference all RDF namespaces found in the #ActivityStreams JSON-LD document you must first download the internet.

If trying to dereference all RDF namespaces found in the #ActivityStreams JSON-LD document you must first download the internet.

Now downloading google.com...

#ActivityPub #ActivityPubDev

Also you must be able to:

* extract JSON-LD from HTML documents
* understand the turtle format
* etc...

@mariusor I gave up on doing that and now download nothing, and embed a few ones that I depend on in the application code itself. 

@toddsundsted I suspect I just need to improve the parser and add a tree shaking stage before blindly downloading all listed namespaces, just in case people added some that they don't really use.

@mariusor I don't know how much your RDF library is worth if it can't handle Turtle.

@nik thank you for the kind words.

And it's not an RDF library.

It's a tool to generate code from JSON-LD documents. It incidentally needs to parse RDF, but that's mostly an implementation detail.

@mariusor Yep. Confusing the very core of JSON-LD with a mere "implementation detail" is one of the most common misconceptions and bugs on the Fediverse. But I'm stopping now ;).

@nik yeah, I don't even know why you address us peasants from your high horse.

@mariusor OK, up to here, I was mostly joking, but after this reaction, I know why I am reinventing your projects.

@nik I'm sorry, who started giving unsolicited advice on what was supposed to be a funny "woe is me" post. Your comments are the prototypical definition of a reply guy.

I didn't ask for your advice and I wish you good luck in doing open-source because you're annoyed by me, I'm pretty sure there's no wrong way to inspire people to do good things.
