Introduction

skyway is a command-line OpenStreetMap file converter.

skyway is currently in major version (0.y.z), i.e. it is undergoing initial development. While I hope you find skyway helpful, it might not work as expected. Your feedback and contributions are welcome. Thanks!

Goals

  • Support a wide range of OpenStreetMap file formats
  • Provide a user-friendly tag filtering system, capable of scaling to planet-scale data
  • Be fast (currently focusing on adding features, performance will come later!)

Alternatives

Before adopting skyway for your project, please also consider Osmium Tool, a well-trusted and performant application that accomplishes many of the same things.

For a complete list of alternatives, please see the OSM file formats page on the OpenStreetMap wiki.
