yxdb-py is a library for reading YXDB files into Python.
install using pip install yxdb
The library does not have external dependencies and is a pure Python solution.
The public API is contained in the YxdbReader class. Instantiate YxdbReader with the following constructors:
YxdbReader(path=str)- load from a fileYxdbReader(stream=BytesIO)- load from an in-memory stream
Iterate through the records in the file using the next() method in a while loop:
while reader.next():
# do something
Fields can be access via the read_index() and read_name() methods on the YxdbReader class.
The list of fields in the YXDB file can be access via the list_fields() method.
To read spatial objects, use the yxdb.spatial.to_geojson() function. The to_geojson() function translates the binary SpatialObj format into a GeoJSON string.
