gpx2json

Simple tool to parse GPX files using xml2js api.

Installation

meteor add selaias:gpx2json

Usage

You call the gpx2json.parse function with parameter the gpx stream. You will get an array of tracking items in the following format : {lon:'4.496940', lat: '50.728383', ele: '0.00', time: '2014-09-20T09:41:45.000Z', sat: '5'}

var fs = Npm.require('fs');

var f = process.env.PWD + '/file.gpx';

var fileContent = fs.readFileSync(f, 'utf8');

var result = gpx2json.parse(fileContent);

_.each(result, function(item){
  console.log(item);
})

alternatively you can just call gpx2json.coords to get a minified array of just the coordinates in the following format: { lat: 50.728357, lng: 4.4971, timestamp:1436551957000 }

var fs = Npm.require('fs');

var f = process.env.PWD + '/file.gpx';

var fileContent = fs.readFileSync(f, 'utf8');

var result = gpx2json.parse(fileContent);

var coords = gpx2json.coords;
