Network Rail CIF Parser

Usage

Reading the schedule

You can parse a CIF file into a Schedule database with the following code:

use nr_cif::prelude::*;

use std::fs::File;

let f = File::open("full-or-partial.cif").expect("cannot read file");
let cif_result = parse_cif(f);
match cif_result {
    Ok(file) => {
        let mut schedule = ScheduleDatabase::new();
        let errors = schedule.apply_file(&file);
        log::info!("Complete.\n{schedule:#?}\nErrors: {errors:?}");
    },
    Err(e) => panic!("{e}"),
}

Note: This does not always expose every field from the records.

Parsing data in a raw manner

You can parse a CIF file into a records array with the following code:

use nr_cif::prelude::*;

use std::fs::File;

let f = File::open("full-or-partial.cif").expect("cannot read file");
let cif_result = parse_cif(f);
match cif_result {
    Ok(file) => {
        for record in file.records() {
            // do something with each record
        }
    },
    Err(e) => panic!("{e}"),
}

This can then be processed further manually.
