A major mode for emacs that provides syntax highlighting for SPARQL. It also provides a way to execute queries against a SPARQL HTTP endpoint, such as is provided by Joseki.
- Download sparql-mode and put it in a directory somewhere.
- Add the following to your .emacs file
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/sparql-mode-dir")
(autoload 'sparql-mode "sparql-mode.el"
"Major mode for editing SPARQL files" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.sparql$" . sparql-mode))Now sparql-mode will load whenever you visit a file whose name ends
with .sparql. Alternatively, run M-x sparql-mode in an existing
buffer containing SPARQL commands
From a buffer that is in sparql-mode, execute M-x sparql-query-region. You will be prompted for a SPARQL HTTP endpoint
in the minibuffer, which defaults to http://localhost:2020/. Once
set, it will be used for all subsequent queries in that buffer.
Results will be displayed in another buffer in CSV format.
sparql-mode is currently very young, and lacks a lot of features that I'd like it to have. If you have a problem or would like to see it get better in a specific way, feel free to drop an issue in the issue tracker. Enjoy!
