GPXParser.js is a lightweight JS library wich parse .gpx file and get or compute various datas like

• GPX metadata
• total and cumulate distances
• min, max, average, positive and negative height différence

GPX ? What is this ?

Wikipedia say :

GPX, or GPS Exchange Format, is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software applications.

gpx files are based on xml with specific tags and attributes

For more information about gpx format see http://www.topografix.com/gpx_manual.asp

How to do

Install from npm

npm install --save gpxparser

Load JavaScript file

From an HTML document :

<script src="./js/GPXParser.js"></script>

From a node.js script :

let gpxParser = require('gpxparser');

Create and parse file

var gpx = new gpxParser(); //Create gpxParser Object
gpx.parse("<xml><gpx></gpx></xml>"); //parse gpx file from string data

Use the gpx Object

var totalDistance = gpx.tracks[0].distance.total;

Export gpxParser Objecto to GeoJSON

let geoJSON = gpx.toGeoJSON();
