PbfParser

As its name suggests is a gem to parse Open Street Map PBF files with ease.

Installation

You need protobuf-c and zlib. On OS X you can use Homebrew to install them easily.

$ brew install zlib
$ brew install protobuf-c

On Debian-like distros, install zlib1g-dev and libprotobuf-c0-dev.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pbf_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pbf_parser

Usage

> pbf = PbfParser.new("planet.osm.pbf")
=> #<PbfParser:0x008fa8d1080080>

This reads the OSMHeader fileblock and then parses the first OSMData fileblock.

You can parse a FileBlock each time by calling #next. It returns true until the EOF is reached, then returns false. Take in mind that when EOF is reached the data of the last FileBlock found is kept.

> pbf.next
=> true

> pbf.next
=> true

[...]

# EOF reached
> pbf.next
=> false

You can access the parsed data calling #data, it returns a hash containing the nodes, ways and relations found on the fileblock that has been read

> pbf.data[:nodes].first unless pbf.data[:nodes].empty?
=> {:id=>21911863, :lat=>43.7370125, :lon=>7.422028, :version=>5, :timestamp=>1335970231000, :changeset=>11480240, :uid=>378737, :user=>"Scrup", :tags=>{}}

You can also access them directly through the #nodes, #ways and #relations shorcut methods

> pbf.ways.first
=> {:id=>4097656, :version=>6, :timestamp=>1357851917000, :changeset=>14602065, :uid=>852996, :user=>"Mg2", :tags=>{"highway"=>"primary", "name"=>"Avenue Princesse Alice"}, :refs=>[21912099, 21912097, 1079751630, 21912095, 21912093, 1110560507, 2104793864, 1079750744, 21912089, 1110560528, 21913657]}

> pbf.relations.last[:id]
=> 2826659

Use #each if you want to iterate over the file until EOF. Nodes, ways and relations hashes are yielded to the block.

pbf.each do |nodes, ways, relations|
  unless nodes.empty?
    nodes.each do |node|
      # do some stuff
    end
  end
end

The OSMHeader data is also parsed and stored:

> pbf.header
=> {"bbox"=>{:top=>43.75169, :right=>7.448637000000001, :bottom=>43.72335, :left=>7.409205}, "required_features"=>["OsmSchema-V0.6", "DenseNodes"], "optional_features"=>nil, "writing_program"=>"Osmium (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmium)", "source"=>nil, "osmosis_replication_timestamp"=>1375470002, "osmosis_replication_sequence_number"=>nil, "osmosis_replication_base_url"=>nil}

Whenever something goes wrong an exception is raised so wrap your calls around rescue blocks at your convenience.
