README

Small library for parsing, formatting, and representing coordinates. This library supports multiple coordinate formats, is well-tested, and is used by the software behind Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Usage

To parse a string to a LatLongValue object you use one of the coordinate parsers.

$parser = new LatLongParser();
$latLongValue = $parser->parse('55.7557860 N, 37.6176330 W');
var_dump($latLongValue->getLongitude()); // float: -37.6176330

These parsers are provided:

  • LatLongParser - Facade for format-specific parsers. In most cases, you will be using this one
  • DdCoordinateParser - Parses decimal degree coordinates
  • DmCoordinateParser - Parses decimal minute coordinates
  • DmsCoordinateParser - Parses degree minute second coordinates
  • FloatCoordinateParser - Parses float coordinates
  • GlobeCoordinateParser - Parses coordinates into GlobeCoordinateValue objects

To turn a coordinate object into a string you use one of the coordinate formatters.

$formatter = new LatLongFormatter();
$coordinateString = $formatter->format(new LatLongValue(42.23, 13.37));

These formatters are provided:

  • LatLongFormatter - Formats a LatLongValue into any of the supported formats
  • GlobeCoordinateFormatter - Formats a GlobeCoordinateValue

To represent a set of coordinates you use one of the Value Objects.

LatLongValue has a float latitude and longitude. GlobeCoordinateValue wraps LatLongValue and adds a precision and a globe identifier.

The supported coordinate formats are:

  • Degree minute second (55° 45' 20.8296", -37° 37' 3.4788" or 55° 45' 20.8296" N, 37° 37' 3.4788" W)
  • Decimal minute (55° 30', -37° 30' or 55° 30' N, 37° 30' W)
  • Decimal degree (55.7557860°, -37.6176330° or 55.7557860° N, 37.6176330° W)
  • Float (55.7557860, -37.6176330 or 55.7557860 N, 37.6176330 W)

The parsers and formatters allow you to customize the used symbols for degrees, minutes and seconds and to change the letters used to indicate direction (N, E, S, W).

Requirements

Geo 4.x: PHP 7.1 or later (tested with PHP 7.1 up to PHP 8.4)

Geo 3.x: PHP 5.5 or later (tested with PHP 5.5 up to PHP 7.4 and HHVM)

Installation

To add this package as a local, per-project dependency to your project, simply add a dependency on data-values/geo to your project's composer.json file. Here is a minimal example of a composer.json file that just defines a dependency on version 4.x of this package:

    {
        "require": {
            "data-values/geo": "^4.0.0"
        }
    }

Running the tests

For tests only

composer test

For style checks only

composer cs

For a full CI run

composer ci

Authors

DataValues Geo is based upon and contains a lot of code written by Jeroen De Dauw for the Maps and Semantic MediaWiki projects.

Significant contributions were made by the Wikidata team, as Wikimedia Germany employees for the Wikidata project.
