A code example of serialization JSON to JSON-LD in Java?

I need to convert a some mass of data represented in the form of JSON to JSON-LD. I want to do this with this JSON-LD Java implementation, but I don't understand, what should I do.

I watched several tutorials and read something about JSON-LD on the Internet, but do not understand the simplest thing: how do I convert JSON to JSON-LD?

For example, I have this code in JSON:

{
   "name" : "Andreas",
   "age" : 20,
   "profession" : "student",
   "personalWebsite" : "example.com"
}

What should I do now? Something like context.add("example.com")?

InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("C:\Users\Username\input.json");
Object jsonObject = JsonUtils.fromInputStream(inputStream);
Map context = new HashMap();
JsonLdOptions options = new JsonLdOptions();

Solution

Add a '@context' entry to your data.

{
   "name" : "Andreas",
   "age" : 20,
   "profession" : "student",
   "personalWebsite" : "example.com",
   "@context":"http://schema.org/"
}

Your JSON-LD Processor will do the rest (since version 0.9)

As test you can convert your json to rdf.

With pom.xml

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.rdf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>rdf4j-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.jsonld-java</groupId>
        <artifactId>jsonld-java</artifactId>
        <version>0.10.0</version>
    </dependency>

It will print your json string as rdf NTRIPLES

_:b0 <http://schema.org/age> "20"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer> .
_:b0 <http://schema.org/name> "Andreas" .
