GeoNamesTools

Library and CLI tool to use data from GeoNames.org

CLI (standard)

For now it can process in a simple way the cities data(for example cities-1000) and transfer data to a sqlite DB.

More features to come!

Example Usage:

cargo run ./test_data/test_cities.txt test.db 

The line above transfers the data in the test_file present in test_cities.txt to the database test.db (creating it, if it does not exist).

Beware of times!

Right now, on my generic laptop, it took 11 minutes to parse all of cities1000!

CLI (MySQL)

It is a porting to MySQL of the main CLI

Example Usage:

cargo run --bin gntools-mysql -- -u root -p passwd -h 172.17.0.2 -P 3306 -d geodb ./test_data/test_cities.txt

(I'm using docker!)

Library

For now it has the two components

geonames::parser;
geonames::sqlitewriter::write_sqlite;

Example:

extern crate geonames;
use geonames::parser;
use geonames::sqlitewriter::write_sqlite;

let input: std::path::PathBuf = "./test_data/test_cities.txt";
let output: std::path::PathBuf = "output.db";

let mut parser = parser::Parser::new(); // Creates the new parser
parser.parse(input).expect("Failure to parse"); // Feeds the test data to the parser
write_sqlite(parser, output).expect("Failure to write"); // Writes the read data to the SQLite DB
