> **Note:** This package is published as `@s5m/gpxparser-mini` on npm. It is a fork of the original [`gpxparser`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gpxparser) package by [Luuka](https://github.com/Luuka/GPXParser.js).

*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 @s5m/gpxparser-mini` 

### Load JavaScript file

From an HTML document (browser):
```html
<script src="./js/GPXParser.js"></script>
```

From a node.js script:
```js
let gpxParser = require('@s5m/gpxparser-mini');
```

**Note for Node.js users:** This library uses the browser's native `DOMParser` API. When using in Node.js, you need to provide a DOM implementation. Install `jsdom` and set it up in your environment:

```bash
npm install jsdom jsdom-global
```

Then in your Node.js code:
```js
require('jsdom-global')();
let gpxParser = require('@s5m/gpxparser-mini');
```

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

### Use the gpx Object

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

### Export gpxParser Objecto to GeoJSON

```js
let geoJSON = gpx.toGeoJSON();
```
