A streaming parser for National Weather Service alerts.
Pipe a stream of the NWS atom feed to .stream() to convert it into alert
objects.
For example, this will print alert objects to stdout:
var es = require('event-stream');
var fs = require('fs');
var parser = require('weather-alerts-parser');
var request = require('request');
request.get('http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/us.php?x=1')
.pipe(parser.stream())
.pipe(es.stringify())
.pipe(process.stdout);You can also stream them into other things, like files. See weather-alerts-geojson if you want to convert these bad boys to geojson.
Most of the attributes are self-explanatory, but you may want to review the official information on how to interpret alert attributes, from the CAP v1.1 specification.
