Testing rdfjs-c14n

rdfjs-c14n is an implementation of the RDF Dataset Canonicalization algorithm. (The algorithm has been defined by the W3C RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group). This repository is an test-runner for the algorithm, relying on the testing methodology the WG has adopted. The test material (test manifest and the tests themselves) are directly fetched from the official test repository of the specification, and the test-runner generates the relevant reports in EARL format. Having this as a separate repository makes it also possible to test rdfjs-c14n as a separate module to be used, e.g., via npm from a separate Typescript program.

Functionally, but also in terms of the Typescript code, there is also a "sister" project doing essentially the same, except that while this version runs on top of Node.js, the other version does on top of Deno. The differences in the code are insignificant (mostly a different way of referencing to imported modules), but it also proves that the core, rdfjs-c14n npm package can also be used from Deno.

Finally, this repository also includes a small, toy example for how to use the package from within a browser (relying on esbuild).

(Note, however, that at this point the package.json file in this repository relies on the local linkage to the rdfjs-c14n module rather than importing from npm. That obviously helps debugging on all sites. Users of this module must modify the package.json file by putting a reference to rdfjs-c14n manually.)
