Elite: Dangerous Player Journal(s)
As documented in detail in the readthedocs.io reference, which is parsed from the
official "Journal Manual", there are a number of files which the game itself updates and
third-party tools consume. Most notable, EDDN syncs a subset of the game's journals
from players running client tools like Elite: Dangerous Discovery or Elite: Dangerous
Market Connector. See our eddn
crate for more information.
Every [Entry
] in the Elite Dangerous journal and status files will have at least the
following fields:
timestamp
event
The parser matchs on the event
to determine the rest of the fields in the object. Status
files other than the main incremental journals each only contain a single event type, and are
therefor not included in the broader [entry::Event
] enum
.
- Use [
parse_journal_file
