## Public predicates

### `parse/2`

Parses a JSON-LD document from the given source (`file(Path)`, `stream(Stream)`, `codes(List)`, `chars(List)`, or `atom(Atom)`) into a term.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`parse(Source,Term)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`parse(++compound,--term)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`Source` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`
`Source` is neither a variable nor a valid source:
`domain_error(json_ld_source,Source)`

### `generate/2`

Generates the content using the representation specified in the first argument (`file(Path)`, `stream(Stream)`, `codes(List)`, `chars(List)`, or `atom(Atom)`) for the term in the second argument.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`generate(Sink,Term)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`generate(+compound,++term)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`Sink` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`
`Sink` cannot be generated:
`domain_error(json_ld_sink,Sink)`

### `expand/2`

Expands a parsed JSON-LD document. Expansion removes the context and represents all properties and types as full IRIs. The result is a list of node objects in expanded document form.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`expand(Document,Expanded)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`expand(+term,--list)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`Document` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`

### `compact/3`

Compacts an expanded JSON-LD document using the given context. Compaction applies the context to shorten IRIs to terms or compact IRIs.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`compact(Document,Context,Compacted)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`compact(+term,+term,--term)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`Document` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`
`Context` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`

### `flatten/2`

Flattens an expanded JSON-LD document. Flattening collects all node objects into a flat `@graph` array, with nested nodes replaced by references. Blank node identifiers are generated for nodes without `@id`.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`flatten(Document,Flattened)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`flatten(+term,--term)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`Document` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`
