A crawler for geospatial files
###About: geocrawler is a command line tool to extract geospatial metadata in JSON format. geoparser is a command line tool to process the output of geocrawler and generate an indexable JSON representation of a file containing geospatial data. geoparser read from standard input and is intended to be used as a piped command after geocrawler.
A file or directory is passed to geocrawler as an argument returning a JSON document for the file or a list of JSON documents for the geospatial files under that directory (the crawler traverses the whole tree under the specified directory)
There is a flag -c to determine the level of concurrency of the crawler. This is intended to speed up traversing directories with a large number of files by using several cores in the machine. -c should be set to a number equal or lower to the number of cores in the machine doing the crawling.
This program is written in Go wrapping the C GDAL library. There is a linux precompiled version available at the bin directory.
###Examples:
Extracting metadata for one file:
geocrawler LC80640052015252LGN00_B1.TIF{"file_type":"GTiff","datasets":[{"ds_name":"/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B1.TIF","raster_count":1,"array_type":"Uint16","x_size":9141,"y_size":9161,"proj4":"+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs ","geotransform":[344085,30,0,8.689215e+06,0,-30]}]}
Extracting metadata for all the files under a directory:
geocrawler LC80640052015252LGN00/
/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B1.TIF {"file_type":"GTiff","datasets":[{"ds_name":"/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B1.TIF","raster_count":1,"array_type":"Uint16","x_size":9141,"y_size":9161,"proj4":"+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs ","geotransform":[344085,30,0,8.689215e+06,0,-30]}]}
/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B2.TIF {"file_type":"GTiff","datasets":[{"ds_name":"/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B2.TIF","raster_count":1,"array_type":"Uint16","x_size":9141,"y_size":9161,"proj4":"+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs ","geotransform":[344085,30,0,8.689215e+06,0,-30]}]}
/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B3.TIF {"file_type":"GTiff","datasets":[{"ds_name":"/landsat/L8/064/005/LC80640052015252LGN00/LC80640052015252LGN00_B3.TIF","raster_count":1,"array_type":"Uint16","x_size":9141,"y_size":9161,"proj4":"+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs ","geotransform":[344085,30,0,8.689215e+06,0,-30]}]}

Same example but using 4 processes extracting the metadata concurrently and writing the output to a file (to be later ingested in a database):
geocrawler -c 4 LC80640052015252LGN00/ > out.tsv
Extracting metadata for all the files under a directory and parsing into an indexable object:
geocrawler LC80640052015252LGN00/ | geoparser
