Dear all,

JavaScript has been without a SPARQL 1.1 parser for some time.
SPARQL.js finally changes this.

This parser was generated semi-automatically from the EBNF grammar
in the SPARQL 1.1 spec, and then extended to generate JSON.
I have opted to generated a more accessible format than SPARQL algebra;
time will tell if this was a good decision. (SPARQL algebra can always be added.)

The full story is on http://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2014/08/22/writing-a-sparql-parser-in-javascript/
and the MIT licensed code on https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/SPARQL.js.

Feedback welcome!

Best,

Ruben
