Select | @m-ld/m-ld

A query pattern that returns values for variables in the query.

The subjects streamed in the query result will have the form:

{
  "?var1": <value>
  "?var2": <value>
  ...
}

Examples:

Select the ids of subjects having a given name

{
  "@select": "?id",
  "@where": {
    "@id": "?id",
    "name": "Wilma"
  }
}

Select the ids and names of all subjects

{
  "@select": ["?id", "?value"],
  "@where": {
    "@id": "?id",
    "name": "?value"
  }
}

See the @where property for more examples of how to use a where clause.

Properties

Optional @context

@context: Context

A JSON-LD Context for the query. In an API, this will frequently be implicit. For example, using json-rql as the body of a POST to http://example.com/my-api/v1/person/query might have the implicit context of a Person (possibly found at http://example.com/my-api/v1/person).

see: examples https://github.com/gsvarovsky/json-rql/search?l=JSON&q=context&type=Code

@select

@select: Result

A declaration of the selection of variables that will be returned.

Optional @where

@where: Subject | Subject[] | Group

The data pattern to match, as a set of subjects or a group. Variables are used as placeholders to capture matching properties and values in the domain.

Examples:

Match a subject by its @id

{
  ...
  "@where": { "@id": "fred" }
}

Match a subject where any property has a given value

{
  ...
  "@where": {
    "@id": "?id",
    "?prop": "Bedrock"
  }
}

Match a subject with a given property, having any value

{
  ...
  "@where": {
    "@id": "?id",
    "name": "?name"
  }
}

The Javascript engine supports exact-matches for subject identities, properties and values. Inline filters will be available in future.
