Writing URPX JSON-LD

The library also supports the inverse direction: emit URPX JSON-LD from a coerced Clojure entity. Useful for round-trip validation, programmatic generation of URPX documents, and authoring fixtures in idiomatic Clojure.

(require '[urpx.emit :as emit])

;; Round-trip a parsed rate plan back to JSON-LD
(spit "out.jsonld" (emit/write-rate-plan plan))

;; Standalone modifier documents
(emit/write-rate-plan-modifier modifier)

;; A urpx:URPXPackage wrapper
(emit/write-urpx-package
  {:jsonld/type "urpx:URPXPackage"
   :urpx/targetURPXVersion "https://github.com/urpx-org/urpx/raw/v0.5.1/ontology/urpx-ontology.ttl"
   :urpx/packages [plan]})

;; Any entity whose @type urpx.schema registers, e.g. a SourcePublication
(emit/write-entity publication)

;; Several top-level nodes as one @graph document, the @context on the document
(emit/write-graph [package enrollment publication rate-case])

;; clojure.data.json options pass through under :json
(emit/write-graph nodes {:json {:indent true :escape-slash false :escape-unicode false}})

Every object is written with its keys in one order: @context, @id, @type, other @ keywords, then properties, each group in string order. The bytes depend on the data and not on the order its maps were built in.

Each function takes a coerced (or already-typed EDN) entity, runs the schema's :encode/urpx-jsonld transformer to convert typed leaves (BigDecimal, LocalDate, LocalDateTime, ZonedDateTime, Duration, integer month numbers, …) back to JSON-LD string forms, projects namespaced-keyword keys to their CURIE / @-reserved JSON-LD forms, and serializes via clojure.data.json/write-str. A typed-literal object such as {"@value": "2026-05-01T16:00:00Z", "@type": "xsd:dateTime"} decodes like the plain string and emits as one, typed by default-context.

Worked round-trip

(require '[urpx.core :as core] '[urpx.coerce :as coerce] '[urpx.emit :as emit])
(import '[java.io StringReader])

;; load + coerce → typed entity
(def plan (-> "path/to/urpx-rate-plan.jsonld"
              core/load-rate-plan
              coerce/coerce-rate-plan))

;; emit → JSON-LD string → re-parse → re-coerce. {:context nil} emits only
;; the @context the plan already carries, so re-coerced gains no
;; :jsonld/context that plan lacks.
(def re-coerced (-> (emit/write-rate-plan plan {:context nil})
                    StringReader.
                    core/parse-rate-plan
                    coerce/coerce-rate-plan))

(= plan re-coerced)
;; => true (the round-trip is a fixed point)

@context emission

By default, every write-* function emits a baseline @context with the canonical URPX prefix declarations (urpx, schema, xsd) plus typed-property declarations matching the shape vendored fixtures carry — output parses cleanly with strict JSON-LD processors out of the box. The full default context lives at urpx.emit/default-context.

;; Default context (most use cases)
(emit/write-rate-plan plan)

;; Caller-supplied context (replaces the default verbatim)
(emit/write-rate-plan plan {:context {"urpx" "https://urpx.org/ns/ontology/"
                                      "ex"   "https://example.com/foo/"}})

;; Suppress @context entirely
(emit/write-rate-plan plan {:context nil})

A @context already present on the input entity (e.g. from a parsed document) is preserved untouched — the default never clobbers a context the consumer supplied.

Round-trip fidelity

The emit path targets logical / RDF-graph equivalence on round-trip: parse → coerce → emit → re-parse → re-coerce yields a structurally equal Clojure entity. Byte-for-byte equality with the input is not a goal — key ordering, single-vs-vector property emission, and @context recreation may differ from the source document.

urpx.emit-test runs an authoritative round-trip suite over the PG&E @graph bundles in urpx.emit-test/vendored-fixtures (both the base RatePlan and the bundled vintage-PCIA modifier in each); all round-trip cleanly with plain (= original re-coerced). The DSL test suite (urpx.dsl-test) extends this to a CPAU-E-2-shaped plan authored entirely via the DSL.
