A C++ library for parsing OSM XML

OSMParser

OSMParser is a C++ library for reading and parsing OSM XML data. It uses tinyxml2 to read map data from a file and creates a C++ object to store all relevant data.

OSMParser does

• extract all nodes, ways, relations from the XML file
• tag each node, way, relation accordingly
• make it easy to retrieve references (nd- and member-tags are stored as pointers)

OSMParser does not

• render map data
• assemble relations like multipolygons
• query map data
