osm2geojson-ultra

A faster & more complete convertor for OSM & Overpass data in XML or JSON formats to GeoJSON - much faster (the more complex the data source is, the more performance advantages it posesses) than osmtogeojson in most situations and faster than osm2geojson-lite - implemented in TypeScript using txml to parse XML.

History

This project was forked from osm2geojson-lite to add support for more overpass geometry output types and to use a different XML parser.

Differences with osm2geojson-lite

• Uses txml to parse XML
• Support geometry outputs from Overpass commands such as local convert, and make
• Support for Overpass out center; output
• Properties have a different structure (id, type, and other non-tag properties are prefixed with @)
• Only distributed as an ES Module
• All options replaced by an elementId option
• Improved polygon detection for closed ways
• Revamped relation processing
• Detection and reporting of tainted objects (eg: missing way nodes or relation members)

Usage

As a Node.JS Library

Installation:

$ npm install osm2geojson-ultra

Usage:

import osm2geojson from 'osm2geojson-ultra';
let geojson = osm2geojson(osm, opts);

In the Browser

<script type="module">
    import osm2geojson from 'https://esm.sh/osm2geojson-ultra';
    let geojson = osm2geojson(osm, opts);
</script>

API

osm2geojson(osm, opts)

Converts OSM data (XML/JSON) to GeoJSON.

• osm: the OSM XML data in String, or OSM/Overpass JSON as object or in String
• opts?: optional, the options object, right now supports below properties/fields:
  • elementId: the default value is undefined. When undefined, all tagged elements are returned. When it is set to an OSM element ID in the form of type/id, eg: "way/123" then a only that feature is returned.

Performance

1. Workloads include the boundary XML and JSON of 4 administrive areas (zhucheng, hebei, tokyodo, usa)
2. Call each conversion for 100 rounds to mitigate the impacts of GC and other factors
3. For each script, run as many as times seperately and then calculate the average cost time (ACT for short)
4. The # listed in the table below are coarse lowest values of dividing the ACT of osmtogeojson by the one of this library

$ cd test
$ npm run bench

Correctness

You can copy the converted results to geojsonlint for the correctness validation. Up until now, osm2geojson-lite behaves pretty well with all the samples (also quite representative) in the data subfolers under test and bench directories, which also outperforms osmtogeojson.

The client side example shipped along with this package, index.html - due to CORS limitation, the direct post to geojsonlint is blocked, so there's a "copy to clipboard" button for you to ease the validation.
