mavmediapa / coregpx

A library for parsing and creation of GPX location files. Purely Swift.

Parse and generate GPX files easily on iOS, watchOS & macOS.

What is CoreGPX?

CoreGPX is a port of iOS-GPX-Framework to Swift language.

CoreGPX currently supports all GPX tags listed in GPX v1.1 schema, along with the recent addition of GPX v1.0 support. It can generate and parse GPX compliant files on iOS, macOS and watchOS.

As it makes use of XMLParser for parsing GPX files, CoreGPX is fully dependent on the Foundation API only.

Features

• Successfully outputs string that can be packaged into a GPX file
• Parses GPX files using native XMLParser
• Support for iOS, macOS & watchOS
• Supports Codable in essential classes
• Enhanced full support for GPXExtensions for both parsing and creating.
• Lossy GPX compression. Check out GPXCompressor for an implementation of this new feature.
• (new) Legacy GPX support. (GPX 1.0 and below)
