Are you a front-end developer, interested in Solid, but unfamiliar with Linked Data? Try Tripledoc

There are a number of great libraries available for building Solid apps, such as LDflex for Solid and rdflib*. They’re very useful, but also primarily aimed at making life easy for developers already familiar with the concepts of Linked Data, RDF, etc.

Some of you will have seen glimpses of it already, but since it might be useful to others as well, here’s an explicit forum post to share Tripledoc.

Tripledoc was created while writing documentation for developers new to Solid. It that process, it turned out there was quite a distance between how the explanation of Solid’s concepts, and the code you would write. Thus, the main motivation for Tripledoc is to provide something that is:

  • Well documented.
  • Makes it as easy as possible to understand for developers with limited familiarity with Linked Data.

So where LDflex contains many clever shortcuts to make it easier to write Linked Data applications, Tripledoc will often be wordier - but hopefully with fewer surprises.

Check out the documentation, play around with it, and let me know what you think and how it works for you.

* I should also give a shout-out to @jeffz solid-file-client, which makes it easy to store arbitrary files on a Solid Pod. I’m mainly focusing on storing structured data here, though Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
