wkx [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cschwarz/wkx.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cschwarz/wkx) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/cschwarz/wkx/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/cschwarz/wkx?branch=master)
========
A WKT/WKB/EWKT/EWKB/TWKB/GeoJSON parser and serializer with support for
- Point
- LineString
- Polygon
- MultiPoint
- MultiLineString
- MultiPolygon
- GeometryCollection
Examples
--------
The following examples show you how to work with wkx.
```javascript
var wkx = require('wkx');
//Parsing a WKT string
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse('POINT(1 2)');
//Parsing an EWKT string
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse('SRID=4326;POINT(1 2)');
//Parsing a node Buffer containing a WKB object
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse(wkbBuffer);
//Parsing a node Buffer containing an EWKB object
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse(ewkbBuffer);
//Parsing a node Buffer containing a TWKB object
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parseTwkb(twkbBuffer);
//Parsing a GeoJSON object
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parseGeoJSON({ type: 'Point', coordinates: [1, 2] });
//Serializing a Point geometry to WKT
var wktString = new wkx.Point(1, 2).toWkt();
//Serializing a Point geometry to WKB
var wkbBuffer = new wkx.Point(1, 2).toWkb();
//Serializing a Point geometry to EWKT
var ewktString = new wkx.Point(1, 2, undefined, undefined, 4326).toEwkt();
//Serializing a Point geometry to EWKB
var ewkbBuffer = new wkx.Point(1, 2, undefined, undefined, 4326).toEwkb();
//Serializing a Point geometry to TWKB
var twkbBuffer = new wkx.Point(1, 2).toTwkb();
//Serializing a Point geometry to GeoJSON
var geoJSONObject = new wkx.Point(1, 2).toGeoJSON();
```
Browser
-------
To use `wkx` in a webpage, simply copy a built browser version from `dist/` into your project, and use a `script` tag
to include it:
```html
<script src="wkx.js"></script>
```
If you use [browserify][] for your project, you can simply `npm install wkx --save`, and just require `wkx` as usual in
your code.
----
Regardless of which of the preceeding options you choose, using `wkx` in the browser will look the same:
```javascript
var wkx = require('wkx');
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse('POINT(1 2)');
console.log(geometry.toGeoJSON());
```
In addition to the `wkx` module, the browser versions also export `buffer`, which is useful for parsing WKB:
```javascript
var Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer;
var wkx = require('wkx');
var wkbBuffer = new Buffer('0101000000000000000000f03f0000000000000040', 'hex');
var geometry = wkx.Geometry.parse(wkbBuffer);
console.log(geometry.toGeoJSON());
```
