ReadOSM is an <b><i>open source<i></b> library to extract valid data from within an Open Street Map input file. Such OSM files come in two different formats:<ul>
<li>files identified by the <b>.osm</b> suffix simply are plain XML files.</li>
<li>files identified by the <b>.osm.pbf</b> suffix does containt the same identical data, but adopting the Google's Protocol Buffer serialization format and thus requiring much less storage space.</li>
</ul><br>
The ReadOSM design goals are:<ul>
<li>to be simple and lightweight</li>
<li>to be stable, robust and efficient</li>
<li>to be easily and universally portable</li>
<li>making the whole parsing process of both <b>.osm</b> or <b>.osm.pbf</b> files completely transparent from the application own perspective.</li></ul>

ReadOSM is structurally simple and quite light-weight (typically about 20K of object code, stripped).
