Python CLI to process and manipulate [CityJSON](http://www.cityjson.org) files.
The different operators can be chained to perform several processing operations in one step, the CityJSON model goes through them and different versions of the CityJSON model can be saved as files along the pipeline.


## Installation

It uses Python 3.3+ only.

To install the latest release:

```console
pip3 install cjio
```

To install the development branch, and still develop with it:

```console
git checkout development
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip3 install --editable .
```

## Usage

After installation, you have a small program called `cjio`, to see its possibities:

```console
cjio --help

  compress                   Compress a CityJSON file, ie stores its...
  decompress                 Decompress a CityJSON file, ie remove the...
  info                       Output info in simple JSON.
  merge                      Merge the current CityJSON with others.
  remove_duplicate_vertices  Remove duplicate vertices a CityJSON file.
  remove_materials           Remove all materials from a CityJSON file.
  remove_orphan_vertices     Remove orphan vertices a CityJSON file.
  remove_textures            Remove all textures from a CityJSON file.
  save                       Save the CityJSON to a file.
  subset                     Create a subset of a CityJSON file.
  update_bbox                Update the bbox of a CityJSON file.
  update_crs                 Update the CRS with a new value.
  validate                   Validate the CityJSON file: (1) against its...
```


## Pipelines of operators

The 3D city model opened is passed through all the operators, and it gets modified by some operators.
Operators like `info` and `validate` output information in the console and just pass the 3D city model to the next operator.

```console
$ cjio example.json validate
$ cjio example.json remove_textures compress info
$ cjio example.json subset --id house12 info remove_materials info save out.json
```


## Example CityJSON datasets

There are a few [example files on the CityJSON webpage](http://www.cityjson.org/en/0.6/datasets/).

Alternatively, any [CityGML](https://www.citygml.org) file can be automatically converted to CityJSON with the open-source project [citygml4j](https://github.com/citygml4j/citygml4j).
