N-Quads
The N-Quads encoding is a line-based, plain text format used for RDF datasets. It is a widely-supported standard which has an extremely simple, albeit verbose, syntax that makes it easy to parse. Large datasets may prefer an alternative encoding for which offers a more concise syntax or additional data representation features.
The N-Triples encoding is a subset of this syntax without support for multiple graphs.
