Practical gpx to js

This is not a fully featured gpx parser or builder so don't expect it to do everything. The aim is to be simple and practical and do what you need.

npm install --save practical-gpx-to-js

Example

import { parseGpx, buildGpx } from 'practical-gpx-to-js';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'path';

let gpxString = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'Track.gpx'), {
	encoding: 'utf8',
});

// gpx has the type of Gpx, see below in Types
let gpx = parseGpx(gpxString);

let newGpxString = buildGpx({
	metadata: gpx.metadata,
	waypoints: gpx.waypoints,
	tracks: gpx.tracks,
});

fs.writeFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'NewTrack.gpx'), newGpxString);
