There is a wiki page where we are gathering all this information

   http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/wiki/WebID_by_examples

If you can fill in for each serialisation 
  - where the spec is
  - what the parsers are for languages

Perhaps on that page all that is needed is:
  1. a link to the spec
  2. a link to a wiki page for that format that goes into more detail of the libraries that support that format for each language
     etc...

For generating and parsing them, I know that all web platforms / frameworks can handle XML and developers have at least some familiarity with it. Not sure here how it looks with Turtle, at least myself I've never used it until now and for example just have seen one gem for Ruby language in early stage (0.1.0)  by Gregg Kellogg https://rubygems.org/gems/rdf-turtle
