      String writeNIF(List<Document> document)
      Writes the given lost of Document instances as NIF data to a String.

    • writeNIF

      void writeNIF(List<Document> document, Writer writer)
      Writes the given lost of Document instances as NIF data to the given Writer.

      Note that following the recommendations of the Jena framework we highly recommend to use writeNIF(List, OutputStream) instead of using a Writer since the OutputStream is not relying on a specific encoding.

      Parameters:
      document - the list of Document instances that should be written as NIF data
      writer - the Writer to which the NIF data should be written
