Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A WKT/WKB/EWKT/EWKB/TWKB/GeoJSON parser and serializer

Readme

well-known-parser

A WKT/WKB/EWKT/EWKB/TWKB/GeoJSON parser and serializer with support for

  • Point
  • LineString
  • Polygon
  • MultiPoint
  • MultiLineString
  • MultiPolygon
  • GeometryCollection

Based upon wkx

Examples

The following examples show you how to work with wkx.

import { Point, parse, parseTwkb, parseGeoJSON } from "well-known-parser";

//Parsing a WKT string
var geometry = parse('POINT(1 2)');

//Parsing an EWKT string
var geometry = parse('SRID=4326;POINT(1 2)');

//Parsing a node Buffer containing a WKB object
var geometry = parse(wkbBuffer);

//Parsing a node Buffer containing an EWKB object
var geometry = parse(ewkbBuffer);

//Parsing a node Buffer containing a TWKB object
var geometry = parseTwkb(twkbBuffer);

//Parsing a GeoJSON object
var geometry = parseGeoJSON({ type: 'Point', coordinates: [1, 2] });

//Serializing a Point geometry to WKT
var wktString = new Point(1, 2).toWkt();

//Serializing a Point geometry to WKB
var wkbBuffer = new Point(1, 2).toWkb();

//Serializing a Point geometry to EWKT
var ewktString = new Point(1, 2, undefined, undefined, 4326).toEwkt();

//Serializing a Point geometry to EWKB
var ewkbBuffer = new Point(1, 2, undefined, undefined, 4326).toEwkb();

//Serializing a Point geometry to TWKB
var twkbBuffer = new Point(1, 2).toTwkb();

//Serializing a Point geometry to GeoJSON
var geoJSONObject = new Point(1, 2).toGeoJSON();
