rdflib includes jsonparser.js but it doesn't appear to be used

[jamsden]

In web.js, function parse(str, kb, base, contentType, callback) handles contentType application/ld+json by using JSON.parse to parse the JSON document, use jsonld.toRDF to convert the jsonDocument o application/nquads, then re-parses the nquads with the n3Parser - causing the text to be parsed twice in two different formats.

File jsonparser.js defines the $rdf.jsonParser which would seem to parse the JSON or JSON-LD directly into the kb without going through the extra format conversion. However, I can't find anyplace this parser is used. What is this parser intended to be used for, and why isn't used in the parse function?

parse now uses https://github.com/linkeddata/rdflib.js/blob/7c17060/src/jsonldparser.js, which is an improvement (#349), and jsonParser is still not used or documented.

It appears the data input to parseJSON is an object of form:

      {
        subject1: {
          predicate1: { value: "value1", type: "uri|BlankNode|Literal" }
        }
      };

Subjects, predicates and source need to be valid URIs. datatype and lang are also supported in the value object
