MappingConformer (RMLMapper 4.9.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- be.ugent.rml.conformer.MappingConformer

```
public class MappingConformer
extends Object
```
Only validates by checking for at least one TriplesMap. Converts mapping files to RML. Currently only R2RML converter is implemented. InputStream of mapping file is used to create a store. TriplesMaps in store that need conversion are detected by applying the converters detection methods and saved. convert tries to convert these to RML. Exceptions can be raised during validation and conversion, which the caller has to handle. Output of detect() informs if convert() should be used to convert to valid RML. The validated RML can be returned as a QuadStore with getStore().
