Reading .osm.pbf or converting .osm.pbf to .osm

Question

I want to extract some information from a .osm.pbf file. I looked through OpenStreetMapX.jl package but didn't find a function to read this data. I am wondering if anyone know a method to read this data. Alternatively is there a way to convert .osm.pbf to .osm file so that I found just use the get_map_data() method offered by OpenStreetMapX package

You can try wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmconvert, i.e. osmconvert myfile.osm.pbf > myfile.osm. – Butt

Answer 1

I would use Osmosis for that:

osmosis --read-pbf myFile.osm.pbf --write-xml myFile.osm

Additional tip - when working with larger maps always run it through OSM filter (wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmfilter) before processing with OpenStreetMapX – Solomon

The wiki says osmosis won't continue development, one should look into new tools especially when first learning them. – Unvoice

Answer 2

I would use osmium to do this:

osmium cat myFile.osm.pbf -o myFile.osm
