# geo-uri-rs

A Rust crate for uniform resource identifiers for geographic locations (geo
URIs) according to IEEE [RFC 5870](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5870).
This crate supports parsing and generating geo URIs in the correct format.
Its parser is currently somewhat more liberal than the proposed standard.

It supports geolocations specified by latitude and longitude, but also
optionally altitude and an uncertainty radius.
The currently only supported coordinate reference system is
[WGS-84](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System#WGS84).

## Usage

Just run the following to add this library to your project:

```sh
$ cargo add geo-uri
    Updating crates.io index
      Adding thiserror vX.Y.Z to dependencies.
```

### Parsing

Use either the [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr) or
[`TryFrom`](std::convert::TryFrom) traits to parse a geo URI string:

```rust
use geo_uri::GeoUri;

let geo_uri = GeoUri::try_from("geo:52.107,5.134,3.6;u=1000").expect("valid geo URI");
assert_eq!(geo_uri.latitude(), 52.107);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.longitude(), 5.134);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.altitude(), Some(3.6));
assert_eq!(geo_uri.uncertainty(), Some(1000.0));

use std::str::FromStr;
let geo_uri = GeoUri::from_str("geo:52.107,5.134;u=2000.0").expect("valid geo URI");
assert_eq!(geo_uri.latitude(), 52.107);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.longitude(), 5.134);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.altitude(), None);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.uncertainty(), Some(2000.0));
```

It is also possible to call the parse function directly:

```rust
use geo_uri::GeoUri;

let geo_uri = GeoUri::parse("geo:52.107,5.134,3.6").expect("valid geo URI");
assert_eq!(geo_uri.latitude(), 52.107);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.longitude(), 5.134);
assert_eq!(geo_uri.altitude(), Some(3.6));
assert_eq!(geo_uri.uncertainty(), None);
```

### Generating

Use the `GeoUriBuilder` to construct a `GeoUri` struct.
Then, use either the [`ToString`](std::string::ToString) or
[`Display`](std::fmt::Display) trait to generate an geo URI string:

```rust
use geo_uri::GeoUri;

let geo_uri = GeoUri::builder()
    .latitude(52.107)
    .longitude(5.134)
    .uncertainty(1_000.0)
    .build()
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(
    geo_uri.to_string(),
    String::from("geo:52.107,5.134;u=1000")
);
assert_eq!(
    format!("{geo_uri}"),
    String::from("geo:52.107,5.134;u=1000")
);
```
