Usage in vanilla JavaScript

[namedgraph]

As I understand, the example uses require() from Node.js:

const ParserN3 = require('@rdfjs/parser-n3')
const Readable = require('stream').Readable

Does this project depend Node.js or can it be used from plain vanilla JS as well? I think it should be clarified.

Yes, this and other rdfjs packages are modularised using commonjs. It is natively supported by nodejs but unfortunately not understood by browsers which now all support Modules (import and export)

That does not mean that rdfjs packages are not usable in browser environment. There are multiple tools which make is possible to combine the two module systems:

1. most popular webpack
2. slightly different rollup
3. an older and aptly named browserify

I made PR to different repo which provides a pattern for distributing native ES modules and having nodejs compatibility via esm module: rdfjs-base/data-model#15
If it lands there I could make similar PRs to other repositories.
This still works well with various bundlers at the same time allowing simple import and <script type="module">
