IGC Parser

A parsing crate for IGC flight recorder files. Features:

No run-time asserts meaning that any errors will be through the Result type
Owned types, meaning no lifetimes
Rc<str> and Arc<str> for immutable string types to improve cloning efficiency compared to String
Builder to parse specific items efficiently

For additional information on the records use https://xp-soaring.github.io/igc_file_format/igc_format_2008.html

Example: Specific kind of records

Use builder pattern to parse only specific kinds of records, this is more efficient than parsing everything

let file = fs::read_to_string("./examples/example.igc")?;
let builder = parser_builder::new_builder()
    .parse_a_records()
    .parse_e_records()
    .parse_b_records();
let parsed = builder.on_file(&file)?;

// Then we can get the records we specified
let a_records = parsed.get_a_records();
let e_records = parsed.get_e_records();
let b_records = parsed.get_b_records();

// NOTE This below does not compile since our builder was not set to parse C records
// let c_records = parsed.get_c_records();

Example: Series of records

Parsing all fixes (B records)

let file = fs::read_to_string("./examples/example.igc")?;
let valid_fixes: Vec<Fix> = file
    .lines()
    .filter_map(|line| {
        if let Record::B(fix) = Record::parse(line).ok()? { 
            Some(fix) 
        } else { 
            None
        }
    })
    .collect();
println!("{}", valid_fixes.len());

Example: Single record

Parsing a single record (L record aka comment)

let comment = match Record::parse("LCOMMENTYCOMMENT").unwrap() {
        Record::L(comment) => comment,
        _ => panic!("This was not a comment")
    };
println!("{}", comment.content);

Example: Entire file

Parsing entire file and getting all valid fixes

let file = fs::read_to_string("./examples/example.igc")?;
let igc_file = IGCFile::parse(&file)?;
let valid_fixes: Vec<Fix> = igc_file
    .get_fixes()
    .clone()
    .into_iter()
    .filter_map(|fix| fix.ok())
    .collect();
println!("{}", valid_fixes.len());
