ATCO-CIF

ATCO-CIF is the format of choice for UK public transport authorities. This is a ruby library that reads .cif files and gives you JSON back.

• ATCO (Association of Transport Coordinating Officers)

• CIF (Common Interface File)

• Official spec: http://www.pti.org.uk/CIF/atco-cif-spec.pdf

USAGE

Currently this library is under-development and has several things left to do before it is perfect (see the todo.md list ).

• clone this library
• start an irb session
• put the cif file in ./data (needs to change from being hardcoded)

Code example, for more detailed internal api usage see the spec files.

gem install atco
irb


require 'rubygems
require 'atco'

result = Atco.parse('filename.cif')
result = Atco.parse('SVRTMAO009A-20091005.cif) # an example data file in the repo

=> {
  header: {…},
  locations: […],
  journies: {…}
}
