Hello all,

I am working on a project and wanted to know what is the easiest way to get all the triples out of any given Thing in a generic format using the Inrupt client libraries. If anyone has a recommendation, thanks.

Thanks

The [`toRdfJsDataset`](https://docs.inrupt.com/developer-tools/api/javascript/solid-client/modules/rdfjs.html#tordfjsdataset) function can give you [an RDF/JS Dataset](https://rdf.js.org/dataset-spec/) containing all Triples in a SolidDataset, which is fairly generic.

If you want just the Triples from a single Thing, you can either create a SolidDataset with just that thing:

```js
const thingSolidDataset = setThing(createSolidDataset, thingToExport);
// You can now call toRdfJsDataset(thingSolidDataset)

```

or filter the Triples with the Thing’s Subject from the RDF/JS Dataset:

```auto
// Assuming you've got the RDF/JS Dataset in rdfJsDataset
const thingTriples = rdfJsDataset.match(new NamedNode(asUrl(thing)), null, null, null);

```

You’ll also need a library that implements RDF/JS NamedNodes for that last option.
