Pod Resources#

Solid Pods are data storage locations. Both Resource Description Framework (RDF) resources and non-RDF resources (e.g., .jpg, .txt) can be stored in a Solid Pod.

To support mapping domain specific objects to RDF resources, Inrupt’s Java Client Libraries provides the WrapperIRI class.

To facilitate mapping Pod resources/files, Inrupt’s Java Client Libraries provides the following classes to map to resources:

For more information on the classes, see:

For an example, see Getting Started.

CRUD Operations#

To facilitate storing resources/files in a Pod, Inrupt’s Java Client Libraries provides:

  • SolidClient, the asynchronous client for interacting with Solid resources.

  • SolidSyncClient, the synchronous client for interacting with Solid resources.

SolidClient and SolidSyncClient provide methods for reading and writing resources to your Solid Pod.

Sessions#

OpenID Sessions#

Inrupt’s Java Client Libraries provide the OpenIdSession class that can work with 3rd party libraries/frameworks that support OpenID Connect and OAuth2 (for example, Spring Security, Quarkus).

In addition, the OpenIdSession class can support client credentials for statically registered single-user application.

For more information, see Sessions.

Access Grant Sessions#

Inrupt’s Java Client Libraries provide AccessGrantSession, which uses an|OpenIdSession| and Access Grant(s) and an OpenID-based session.

For more information, see Sessions.
