Linked Data Box

This is a lightweight data structure to convey RDF / JSON-LD styled "linked" or "semantic" metadata around. Very specifically and concretely, from a metadata editor on the browser to the server side.

Example usage

On the server side, you might run something like this:

var v = new LinkedDataBox();
v.addTag("http://schema.org/name", { "@id": "https://github.com/wirehead"});

And then when you want to send it to the server side, either as a hidden form value or as a AJAX JSON request, you can just use JSON.stringify() on the LinkedDataBox -- Don't worry about turning it into JSON, the toJSON method has already been implemented.

var vstr = JSON.stringify(v);

And then on the server side, you might run something like this:

var v = new LinkedDataBox(req.body.metadata);
var arr = [];
v.iterateTags((pred, tag) => {
  arr.push({pred,tag});
});

So that you can add the tags to your favorite triple-store or SQL database.
