+To

+you
+must
+first
+be
+familiar
+with
+JSON,
+which
+is
+detailed
+in
+[
+<cite>
+<a href="#bib-RFC4627" class="bibref">
+RFC4627

+You

+[
+<cite>
+<a href="#bib-JSON-LD" class="bibref">
+JSON-LD

+which
+is
+the

+To
+understand
+the
+API
+and
+how
+it
+is
+intended
+to
+operate
+in
+a
+programming
+environment,
+it
+is
+useful
+to
+have

+To

+it
+is
+helpful
+to
+be
+familiar

+The

+Syntax
+specification
+[
+<cite>
+<a href="#bib-JSON-LD" class="bibref">
+JSON-LD

+]
+defines
+a
+syntax
+to

+Linked

+in
+JSON.
+Because
+there
+is
+more
+than
+one
+way
+to

+Linked

+using
+this

+it
+is
+often
+useful
+to
+be

+to

+be

+These
+two

+There

+four

+are
+discussed
+in

+ <p>This specification defines a set of algorithms for programmatic transformations
+ of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data according to the defined transformations
+ often dramatically simplifies its usage. Furthermore, this document proposes
+ an Application Programming Interface (API) for developers implementing the
+ specified algorithms.</p>
+</section><section rel="bibo:chapter" resource="#sotd" typeof="bibo:Chapter" id="sotd" class="introductory"><h2 id="h2_sotd" role="heading" aria-level="1">Status of This Document</h2>
+
+
+
+ <p>
+ <em>This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other
+ documents may supersede this document. A list of current <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> publications and the latest revision
+ of this technical report can be found in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/"><abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> technical reports
+ index</a> at http://www.w3.org/TR/.</em>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>This document has been under development for over 31 months in the
+ JSON for Linking Data Community Group. The document has been
+ transferred to the RDF Working Group for review, improvement, and publication
+ along the Recommendation track. The specification has undergone significant
+ development, review, and changes during the course of the last 31 months.</p>
+
+ <p>There are several independent
+ <a href="http://json-ld.org/test-suite/reports/">interoperable implementations</a> of
+ this specification. There is a fairly complete test suite [<cite><a href="#bib-JSON-LD-TESTS" class="bibref">JSON-LD-TESTS</a></cite>]
+ and a <a href="http://json-ld.org/playground/">live JSON-LD editor</a>
+ that is capable of demonstrating the features described in
+ this document. While there will be continuous development on implementations,
+ the test suite, and the live editor, they are believed to be mature enough
+ to be integrated into a non-production system at this point in time. There
+ is an expectation that they could be used in a production system within the
+ next two months.</p>
+
+ <p>Changes since the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-json-ld-api-20130411/">11 April 2013 Last Call Working Draft</a>:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Use of DOM Futures instead of callbacks in the Application Programming Interface</li>
+ <li>Processing of terms that are redefined to themselves without raising an
+ <code class="error"><a href="#idl-def-JsonLdErrorCode.cyclic-IRI-mapping">cyclic <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> mapping</a></code> error</li>
+ <li>Raise an <code class="error"><a href="#idl-def-JsonLdErrorCode.invalid-IRI-mapping">invalid <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> mapping</a></code>
+ error if relative URLs are used in term definitions</li>
+ <li>Support relative IRIs in <code>@base</code></li>
+ <li>Remove default value of <code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#idl-def-JsonLdOptions">JsonLdOption's</a></code>
+ <code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#widl-JsonLdOptions-base">base</a></code> member</li>
+ <li>Support lists of lists when serializing RDF as JSON-LD</li>
+ <li>Support for relative URLs in <code>@base</code> and documents that
+ do not have a base value</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Changes since the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-json-ld-api-20130516/">16 May 2013 Last Call Working Draft</a>:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Ensure determinism of the Deserialize JSON-LD to RDF algorithm by specifying the processing order</li>
+ <li>Change the default value of the <em>use native types</em> flag in the Serialize RDF as JSON-LD
+ algorithm to <code>false</code></li>
+ <li>Clarify that the <i>identifier map</i> and the <i>counter</i> used by the
+ Generate Blank Node Identifier algorithm are reset before running the Flattening
+ and the Deserialize JSON-LD to RDF algorithms</li>
+ <li>Raise an error if a blank node is used as data type</li>
+ <li>Clarify that blank node identifier are supported as value of <code>@vocab</code></li>
+ <li>When generating RDF, exclude <a href="#dfn-rdf-triple" title="rdf-triple" class="tref internalDFN">triples</a> containing a
+ <a href="#dfn-blank-node" title="blank-node" class="tref internalDFN">blank node</a> <a href="#dfn-rdf-predicate" title="rdf-predicate" class="tref internalDFN">predicate</a>, unless the
+ <i>produce generalized RDF</i> flag is set; discard <a href="#dfn-rdf-triple" title="rdf-triple" class="tref internalDFN">triples</a>
+ containing relative IRIs and graphs with a relative <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> as graph name</li>
+ <li>Update reference to DOM Promises (have been called DOM Futures)</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in <a href="#serialize-rdf-as-json-ld-algorithm">Serialize RDF to JSON-LD algorithm</a> to
+ handle lists correctly</li>
+ <li>Support processing of documents with a <code>+json</code> media type as defined in
+ [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC6839" class="bibref">RFC6839</a></cite>]</li>
+ <li>Use the <a class="idlType" href="#idl-def-LoadDocumentCallback"><code>LoadDocumentCallback</code></a> (previously <code>LoadContextCallback</code>)
+ to retrieve remote contexts and remote documents</li>
+ <li>Allow contexts to be passed into the API directly. Previously only context documents, i.e.,
+ objects having a <code>@context</code> member were allowed.</li>
+ <li>Clarify the usage of the
+ <code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#widl-JsonLdOptions-documentLoader">documentLoader</a></code> option.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Changes since the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-json-ld-api-20130910/">10 September 2013 Candidate Recommendation</a>:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed a bug that relabeled blank node identifiers used with reverse properties inconsistently when
+ creating a node map .</li>
+ <li>Made the API non-normative given that Promises are still not properly specified.</li>
+ </ul>
+

+
+ <p>This document is a detailed specification of the JSON-LD processing algorithms.
+ The document is primarily intended for the following audiences:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Software developers who want to implement the algorithms to transform
+ JSON-LD documents.</li>
+ <li>Web authors and developers who want a very detailed view of how
+ a <a href="#dfn-json-ld-processor" title="json-ld-processor" class="tref internalDFN">JSON-LD Processor</a> operates.</li>
+ <li>Developers who want an overview of the proposed JSON-LD API.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>To understand the basics in this specification you must first be familiar with
+ JSON, which is detailed in [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC4627" class="bibref">RFC4627</a></cite>]. You must also understand the
+ JSON-LD syntax defined in [<cite><a href="#bib-JSON-LD" class="bibref">JSON-LD</a></cite>], which is the base syntax used by all
+ of the algorithms in this document. To understand the API and how it is
+ intended to operate in a programming environment, it is useful to have working
+ knowledge of the JavaScript programming language [<cite><a href="#bib-ECMA-262" class="bibref">ECMA-262</a></cite>] and
+ WebIDL [<cite><a href="#bib-WEBIDL" class="bibref">WEBIDL</a></cite>]. To understand how JSON-LD maps to RDF, it is helpful to be
+ familiar with the basic RDF concepts [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-CONCEPTS" class="bibref">RDF11-CONCEPTS</a></cite>].</p>

+
+ <p>The JSON-LD Syntax specification [<cite><a href="#bib-JSON-LD" class="bibref">JSON-LD</a></cite>] defines a syntax to
+ express Linked Data in JSON. Because there is more than one way to
+ express Linked Data using this syntax, it is often useful to be able to
+ transform JSON-LD documents so that they may be more easily consumed by
+ specific applications.</p>
+
+ <p>JSON-LD uses <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">contexts</a> to allow Linked Data
+ to be expressed in a way that is specifically tailored to a particular
+ person or application. By providing a <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>,
+ JSON data can be expressed in a way that is a natural fit for a particular
+ person or application whilst also indicating how the data should be
+ understood at a global scale. In order for people or applications to
+ share data that was created using a <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> that is different
+ from their own, a JSON-LD processor must be able to transform a document
+ from one <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> to another. Instead of requiring JSON-LD
+ processors to write specific code for every imaginable
+ <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> switching scenario, it is much easier to specify a
+ single algorithm that can remove any <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>. Similarly,
+ another algorithm can be specified to subsequently apply any
+ <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>. These two algorithms represent the most basic
+ transformations of JSON-LD documents. They are referred to as
+ <a href="#dfn-expansion" title="expansion" class="tref internalDFN">expansion</a> and <a href="#dfn-compaction" title="compaction" class="tref internalDFN">compaction</a>, respectively.</p>
+
+ <p>There are four major types of transformation that are discussed in this
+ document: expansion, compaction, flattening, and RDF serialization/deserialization.</p>
+
+ <section id="expansion" class="informative">
+ <h3 id="h3_expansion" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.1 </span>Expansion</h3><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+ <p>The algorithm that removes <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> is
+ called <dfn id="dfn-expansion" title="expansion">expansion</dfn>. Before performing any other
+ transformations on a JSON-LD document, it is easiest to
+ remove any <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> from it and to make data structures
+ more regular.</p>
+
+ <p>To get an idea of how context and data structuring affects the same data,
+ here is an example of JSON-LD that uses only <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">terms</a>
+ and is fairly compact:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 1</span>: Sample JSON-LD document</div><pre class="example">{
+ "@context": {
+ "name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",
+ "homepage": {
+ "@id": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage",
+ "@type": "@id"
+ }
+ },
+ "@id": "http://me.markus-lanthaler.com/",
+ "name": "Markus Lanthaler",
+ "homepage": "http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/"
+}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>The next input example uses one <a href="#dfn-iri" title="iri" class="tref internalDFN"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> to express a property
+ and an <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a> to encapsulate another, but
+ leaves the rest of the information untouched.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 2</span>: Sample JSON-LD document using an IRI instead of a term to express a property</div><pre class="example">{
+ "@context": {
+ <span class="highlight">"website": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage"</span>
+ },
+ "@id": "http://me.markus-lanthaler.com/",
+ "<span class="highlight">http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name</span>": "Markus Lanthaler",
+ <span class="highlight">"website"</span>: <span class="highlight">{ "@id":</span> "http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/" <span class="highlight">}</span>
+}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Note that both inputs are valid JSON-LD and both represent the same
+ information. The difference is in their <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> information
+ and in the data structures used. A JSON-LD processor can remove
+ <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> and ensure that the data is more regular by employing
+ <a href="#dfn-expansion" title="expansion" class="tref internalDFN">expansion</a>.</p>
+
+ <p><a href="#dfn-expansion" title="expansion" class="tref internalDFN">Expansion</a> has two important goals: removing any contextual
+ information from the document, and ensuring all values are represented
+ in a regular form. These goals are accomplished by expanding all properties
+ to <a href="#dfn-absolute-iri" title="absolute-iri" class="tref internalDFN">absolute IRIs</a> and by expressing all
+ values in <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">arrays</a> in
+ <a href="#dfn-expanded-form" title="expanded-form" class="tref internalDFN">expanded form</a>. <a href="#dfn-expanded-form" title="expanded-form" class="tref internalDFN">Expanded form</a> is the most verbose
+ and regular way of expressing of values in JSON-LD; all contextual
+ information from the document is instead stored locally with each value.
+ Running the <a href="#expansion-algorithm">Expansion algorithm</a>
+ (<code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#widl-JsonLdProcessor-expand-Promise-any-input-JsonLdOptions-options">expand</a></code>
+ operation) against the above examples results in the following output:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 3</span>: Expanded sample document</div><pre class="example">[
+ {
+ "@id": "http://me.markus-lanthaler.com/",
+ "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name": [
+ { "@value": "Markus Lanthaler" }
+ ],
+ "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage": [
+ { "@id": "http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/" }
+ ]
+ }
+]</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Note that in the output above all <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> definitions have
+ been removed, all <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">terms</a> and
+ <a href="#dfn-compact-iri" title="compact-iri" class="tref internalDFN">compact IRIs</a> have been expanded to absolute
+ <a href="#dfn-iri" title="iri" class="tref internalDFN">IRIs</a>, and all
+ <a href="#dfn-json-ld-value" title="json-ld-value" class="tref internalDFN">JSON-LD values</a> are expressed in
+ <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">arrays</a> in <a href="#dfn-expanded-form" title="expanded-form" class="tref internalDFN">expanded form</a>. While the
+ output is more verbose and difficult for a human to read, it establishes a
+ baseline that makes JSON-LD processing easier because of its very regular
+ structure.</p>

+ <section id="compaction" class="informative">
+ <h3 id="h3_compaction" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.2 </span>Compaction</h3><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+ <p>While <a href="#dfn-expansion" title="expansion" class="tref internalDFN">expansion</a> removes <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> from a given
+ input, <a href="#dfn-compaction" title="compaction" class="tref internalDFN">compaction's</a> primary function is to
+ perform the opposite operation: to express a given input according to
+ a particular <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>. <dfn id="dfn-compaction" title="compaction">Compaction</dfn> applies a
+ <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> that specifically tailors the way information is
+ expressed for a particular person or application. This simplifies applications
+ that consume JSON or JSON-LD by expressing the data in application-specific
+ terms, and it makes the data easier to read by humans.</p>
+
+ <p><a href="#dfn-compaction" title="compaction" class="tref internalDFN">Compaction</a> uses a developer-supplied <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> to
+ shorten <a href="#dfn-iri" title="iri" class="tref internalDFN">IRIs</a> to <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">terms</a> or
+ <a href="#dfn-compact-iri" title="compact-iri" class="tref internalDFN">compact IRIs</a> and
+ <a href="#dfn-json-ld-value" title="json-ld-value" class="tref internalDFN">JSON-LD values</a> expressed in
+ <a href="#dfn-expanded-form" title="expanded-form" class="tref internalDFN">expanded form</a> to simple values such as <a href="#dfn-string" title="string" class="tref internalDFN">strings</a>
+ or <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">numbers</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, assume the following expanded JSON-LD input document:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 4</span>: Expanded sample document</div><pre class="example">[

+ { "@id": "http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/" }
+ ]
+ }
+]</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Additionally, assume the following developer-supplied JSON-LD
+ <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 5</span>: JSON-LD context</div><pre class="example">{

+ }
+}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Running the <a href="#compaction-algorithm">Compaction Algorithm</a>
+ (<code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#widl-JsonLdProcessor-compact-Promise-any-input-JsonLdContext-context-JsonLdOptions-options">compact</a></code>

+
+ <p>Note that all <a href="#dfn-iri" title="iri" class="tref internalDFN">IRIs</a> have been compacted to
+ <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">terms</a> as specified in the <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>,
+ which has been injected into the output. While compacted output is
+ useful to humans, it is also used to generate structures that are easy to
+ program against. Compaction enables developers to map any expanded document
+ into an application-specific compacted document. While the context provided

+ <h3 id="h3_flattening" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.3 </span>Flattening</h3><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+ <p>While expansion ensures that a document is in a uniform structure,
+ flattening goes a step further to ensure that the shape of the data
+ is deterministic. In expanded documents, the properties of a single
+ <a href="#dfn-node" title="node" class="tref internalDFN">node</a> may be spread across a number of different
+ <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON objects</a>. By flattening a
+ document, all properties of a <a href="#dfn-node" title="node" class="tref internalDFN">node</a> are collected in a single
+ <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a> and all <a href="#dfn-blank-node" title="blank-node" class="tref internalDFN">blank nodes</a>
+ are labeled with a <a href="#dfn-blank-node-identifier" title="blank-node-identifier" class="tref internalDFN">blank node identifier</a>. This may drastically
+ simplify the code required to process JSON-LD data in certain applications.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, assume the following JSON-LD input document:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 7</span>: Sample JSON-LD document</div><pre class="example">{
+ "@context": {
+ "name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",

+ "name": "Markus Lanthaler",
+ "knows": [
+ {
+ "name": "Dave Longley"

+}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Running the <a href="#flattening-algorithm">Flattening algorithm</a>
+ (<code class="idlMemberName"><a href="#widl-JsonLdProcessor-flatten-Promise-any-input-JsonLdContext-context-JsonLdOptions-options">flatten</a></code>
+ operation) with a context set to <a href="#dfn-null" title="null" class="tref internalDFN">null</a> to prevent compaction
+ returns the following document:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 8</span>: Flattened sample document in expanded form</div><pre class="example">[

+ ]
+ }
+]</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Note how in the output above all properties of a <a href="#dfn-node" title="node" class="tref internalDFN">node</a> are collected in a

+ "Dave Longley" has been assigned the <a href="#dfn-blank-node-identifier" title="blank-node-identifier" class="tref internalDFN">blank node identifier</a>
+ <code>_:t0</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>To make it easier for humans to read or for certain applications to
+ process it, a flattened document can be compacted by passing a context. Using
+ the same context as the input document, the flattened and compacted document
+ looks as follows:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 9</span>: Flattened and compacted sample document</div><pre class="example">{

+ "knows": { "@id": "_:t0" }
+ }
+ ]
+}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>Please note that the result of flattening and compacting a document
+ is always a <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a> which contains an <code>@graph</code>

+ <dd>An object structure is represented as a pair of curly brackets surrounding
+ zero or more key-value pairs. A key is a <a href="#dfn-string" title="string" class="tref internalDFN">string</a>.
+ A single colon comes after each key, separating the key from the value.
+ A single comma separates a value from a following key. In contrast to JSON,
+ in JSON-LD the keys in an object must be unique.</dd>
+ <dt><dfn id="dfn-array" title="array">array</dfn></dt>
+ <dd>An array structure is represented as square brackets surrounding zero
+ or more values. Values are separated by commas.
+ In JSON, an array is an <em>ordered</em> sequence of zero or more values.
+ While JSON-LD uses the same array representation as JSON,
+ the collection is <em>unordered</em> by default. While order is
+ preserved in regular JSON arrays, it is not in regular JSON-LD arrays
+ unless specifically defined (see

+ A <a href="#dfn-term-definition" title="term-definition" class="tref internalDFN">term definition</a> can not only be used to map a <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">term</a>

+ in which case it is referred to as a <dfn id="dfn-keyword-alias" title="keyword-alias">keyword alias</dfn>.</p>
+
+ <p>When processing, the <a href="#dfn-active-context" title="active-context" class="tref internalDFN">active context</a> is initialized

+ <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local context</a> is merged into the new <a href="#dfn-active-context" title="active-context" class="tref internalDFN">active context</a>.
+ Given that <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local contexts</a> may contain

+
+ <section class="informative">
+ <h4 role="heading" aria-level="3" id="overview">Overview</h4><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+ <p>First we prepare a new <a href="#dfn-active-context" title="active-context" class="tref internalDFN">active context</a> <i>result</i> by cloning
+ the current <a href="#dfn-active-context" title="active-context" class="tref internalDFN">active context</a>. Then we normalize the form of the passed
+ <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local context</a> to an <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a>.
+ <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">Local contexts</a> may be in the form of a
+ <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a>, a <a href="#dfn-string" title="string" class="tref internalDFN">string</a>, or an <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a> containing
+ a combination of the two. Finally we process each <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> contained
+ in the <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local context</a> <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a> as follows.</p>
+
+ <p>If <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> is a <a href="#dfn-string" title="string" class="tref internalDFN">string</a>, it represents a reference to
+ a remote context. We dereference the remote context and replace <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>
+ with the value of the <code>@context</code> key of the top-level object in the
+ retrieved JSON-LD document. If there's no such key, an invalid remote context has
+ been detected. Otherwise, we process <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> by recursively using
+ this algorithm ensuring that there is no cyclical reference.</p>
+
+ <p>If <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> is a <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a>, we first update the
+ <a href="#dfn-base-iri" title="base-iri" class="tref internalDFN">base <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>, the <a href="#dfn-vocabulary-mapping" title="vocabulary-mapping" class="tref internalDFN">vocabulary mapping</a>, and the
+ <a href="#dfn-default-language" title="default-language" class="tref internalDFN">default language</a> by processing three specific keywords:
+ <code>@base</code>, <code>@vocab</code>, and <code>@language</code>.
+ These are handled before any other keys in the <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local context</a> because
+ they affect how the other keys are processed. Please note that <code>@base</code> is
+ ignored when processing remote contexts.</p>
+
+ <p>Then, for every other key in <a href="#dfn-local-context" title="local-context" class="tref internalDFN">local context</a>, we update

+ <p>Starting with its root <i>element</i>, we can process the

+ <a href="#dfn-compaction" title="compaction" class="tref internalDFN">compacting</a> an <i>element</i>, we can treat
+ each one differently according to its type, in order to break down the
+ problem:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>If the <i>element</i> is a <a href="#dfn-scalar" title="scalar" class="tref internalDFN">scalar</a>, it is
+ already in <a href="#dfn-compacted-form" title="compacted-form" class="tref internalDFN">compacted form</a>, so we simply return it.</li>
+ <li>If the <i>element</i> is an <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a>, we compact
+ each of its items recursively and return them in a new
+ <a href="#dfn-array" title="array" class="tref internalDFN">array</a>.</li>
+ <li>Otherwise <i>element</i> is a <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a>. The value
+ of each key in element is compacted recursively. Some of the keys will be
+ compacted, using the <a href="#iri-compaction"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> Compaction algorithm</a>,
+ to <a href="#dfn-term" title="term" class="tref internalDFN">terms</a> or <a href="#dfn-compact-iri" title="compact-iri" class="tref internalDFN">compact IRIs</a>

+ <a href="#dfn-keyword-alias" title="keyword-alias" class="tref internalDFN">keyword aliases</a> or simply left
+ unchanged because they do not have definitions in the <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a>.
+ Values will be converted to <a href="#dfn-compacted-form" title="compacted-form" class="tref internalDFN">compacted form</a> via the
+ <a href="#value-compaction">Value Compaction algorithm</a>. Some data
+ will be reshaped based on <a href="#dfn-container-mapping" title="container-mapping" class="tref internalDFN">container mappings</a>

+ maps.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>The final output is a <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a> with a <code>@context</code>
+ key, if a non-empty <a href="#dfn-context" title="context" class="tref internalDFN">context</a> was given, where the <a href="#dfn-json-object" title="json-object" class="tref internalDFN">JSON object</a>

+ <p>The <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a> of an <em>integer</em>, i.e., a
+ <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">number</a> with no non-zero fractional part or a <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">number</a>
+ coerced to <code>xsd:integer</code>, is a finite-length sequence of decimal
+ digits (<code>0-9</code>) with an optional leading minus sign; leading
+ zeros are prohibited. In JavaScript, implementers can use the following
+ snippet of code to convert an integer to
+ <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a>:</p>

+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 12</span>: Sample integer serialization implementation in JavaScript</div><pre class="example">(value).toFixed(0).toString()</pre></div>
+
+ <p>The <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a> of a <em>double</em>, i.e., a
+ <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">number</a> with a non-zero fractional part or a <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">number</a>
+ coerced to <code>xsd:double</code>, consists of a mantissa followed by the
+ character <code>E</code>, followed by an exponent. The mantissa is a
+ decimal number and the exponent is an integer. Leading zeros and a
+ preceding plus sign (<code>+</code>) are prohibited in the exponent.
+ If the exponent is zero, it is indicated by <code>E0</code>. For the
+ mantissa, the preceding optional plus sign is prohibited and the
+ decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeros are prohibited
+ subject to the following: number representations must be normalized
+ such that there is a single digit which is non-zero to the left of
+ the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the
+ decimal point unless the value being represented is zero. The
+ canonical representation for zero is <code>0.0E0</code>.
+ <code>xsd:double</code>'s value space is defined by the IEEE
+ double-precision 64-bit floating point type [<cite><a href="#bib-IEEE-754-1985" class="bibref">IEEE-754-1985</a></cite>] whereas
+ the value space of JSON <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">numbers</a> is not
+ specified; when deserializing JSON-LD to RDF the mantissa is rounded to
+ 15 digits after the decimal point. In JavaScript, implementers
+ can use the following snippet of code to convert a double to
+ <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a>:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 13</span>: Sample floating point number serialization implementation in JavaScript</div><pre class="example">(value).toExponential(15).replace(/(\d)0*e\+?/,'$1E')</pre></div>
+
+ <p>The <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a> of the <em>boolean</em>
+ values <a href="#dfn-true" title="true" class="tref internalDFN">true</a> and <a href="#dfn-false" title="false" class="tref internalDFN">false</a> are the strings
+ <code>true</code> and <code>false</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>When JSON-native <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">numbers</a> are deserialized
+ to RDF, lossless data round-tripping cannot be guaranteed, as rounding
+ errors might occur. When
+ <a href="#serialize-rdf-as-json-ld-algorithm">serializing RDF as JSON-LD</a>,
+ similar rounding errors might occur. Furthermore, the datatype or the lexical
+ representation might be lost. An <code>xsd:double</code> with a value
+ of <code>2.0</code> will, e.g., result in an <code>xsd:integer</code>
+ with a value of <code>2</code> in <a href="#dfn-canonical-lexical-form" title="canonical-lexical-form" class="tref internalDFN">canonical lexical form</a>
+ when converted from RDF to JSON-LD and back to RDF. It is important
+ to highlight that in practice it might be impossible to losslessly
+ convert an <code>xsd:integer</code> to a <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">number</a> because
+ its value space is not limited. While the JSON specification [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC4627" class="bibref">RFC4627</a></cite>]
+ does not limit the value space of <a href="#dfn-number" title="number" class="tref internalDFN">numbers</a>
+ either, concrete implementations typically do have a limited value
+ space.</p>
+
+ <p>To ensure lossless round-tripping the
+ <a href="#serialize-rdf-as-json-ld-algorithm">Serialize RDF as JSON-LD algorithm</a>
+ specifies a <i>use native types</i> flag which controls whether
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-literal" title="rdf-literals" class="tref externalDFN">RDF literals</a>
+ with a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-datatype-iri" title="datatype-iri" class="tref externalDFN">datatype <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>
+ equal to <code>xsd:integer</code>, <code>xsd:double</code>, or
+ <code>xsd:boolean</code> are converted to their JSON-native
+ counterparts. If the <i>use native types</i> flag is set to
+ <a href="#dfn-false" title="false" class="tref internalDFN">false</a>, all literals remain in their original string
+ representation.</p>
+
+ <p>Some JSON serializers, such as PHP's native implementation in some versions,
+ backslash-escape the forward slash character. For example, the value
+ <code>http://example.com/</code> would be serialized as <code>http:\/\/example.com\/</code>.
+ This is problematic as other JSON parsers might not understand those escaping characters.
+ There is no need to backslash-escape forward slashes in JSON-LD. To aid
+ interoperability between JSON-LD processors, forward slashes <em title="MUST NOT" class="rfc2119">MUST NOT</em> be
+ backslash-escaped.</p>

+ François Daoust, Lin Clark, and Zdenko 'Denny' Vrandečić.
+ The editors would like to thank Mark Birbeck, who provided a great deal of
+ the initial push behind the JSON-LD work via his work on RDFj.
+ The work of Dave Lehn and Mike Johnson are appreciated for reviewing,
+ and performing several implementations of the specification. Ian Davis is
+ thanked for his work on RDF/JSON. Thanks also to Nathan Rixham,
+ Bradley P. Allen, Kingsley Idehen, Glenn McDonald, Alexandre Passant,
+ Danny Ayers, Ted Thibodeau Jr., Olivier Grisel, Josh Mandel, Eric Prud'hommeaux,
+ David Wood, Guus Schreiber, Pat Hayes, Sandro Hawke, and Richard Cyganiak
