A tool for converting ogr-readable files like shapefiles into .pbf or .osm data
Ogr2osm requires python 3, gdal with python bindings, lxml and optionally protobuf if you want to generate pbf files. Depending on the file formats you want to read you may have to compile gdal yourself but there should be no issues with shapefiles. You can also use docker to run ogr2osm.
Install via
paru -Syu ogr2osm-gitpip install --upgrade ogr2osmgit clone https://github.com/roelderickx/ogr2osm.git
cd ogr2osm
python setup.py installIf you do not have the required permissions to install ogr2osm, you can run the package as a module directly from the cloned source.
git clone https://github.com/roelderickx/ogr2osm.git
cd ogr2osm
python -m ogr2osmIf you do not want to install ogr2osm on your system, you can run it with Docker. This is especially useful if you are on Windows or Mac and do not want to install Python and GDAL yourself.
The usage of ogr2osm with Docker is the same as the usage as a standalone application. You can run ogr2osm with the following command:
# If you have test.json in the current directory
# you can run the following command to convert it to an OSM file
# and save it in the current directory
docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/app roelderickx/ogr2osm /app/test.json -o /app/test.osmIf you are upgrading from pnorman's version and you use a translation file for your data, be sure to read about the modifications you will need to do.
This program is based on pnorman's version of ogr2osm, but is rewritten to make it useable as a general purpose library.
Ogr2osm will read any data source that ogr can read and handle reprojection for you. It takes a python file to translate external data source tags into OSM tags, allowing you to use complicated logic. If no translation is specified it will use an identity translation, carrying all tags from the source to the .pbf or .osm output.
Anyone planning an import into OpenStreetMap should read and review the import guidelines located on the wiki. When writing your translation file you should look at other examples and carefully consider each external data source tag to see if it should be converted to an OSM tag.
Ogr2osm can be used as a standalone application, but you can also use its classes in your own python project.

--no-upload-false Omit upload=false from the completed file to suppress
JOSM warnings when uploading.
--never-download Prevent JOSM from downloading more data to this file.
--never-upload Completely disables all upload commands for this file
in JOSM, rather than merely showing a warning before
uploading.
--locked Prevent any changes to this file in JOSM, such as
editing or downloading, and also prevents uploads.
Implies upload="never" and download="never".
--add-bounds Add boundaries to output file
--suppress-empty-tags
Suppress empty tags
--max-tag-length MAXTAGLENGTH
Set max character length of tag values. Exceeding
values will be truncated and end with '...'. Defaults
to 255. Values smaller than 3 disable the limit.
--add-z-value-tag TAGNAME
The tagname in which the z-value will be saved.
--add-version Add version to nodes, ways and relations. Use with
care, this option can cause problems when used
inappropriately
--add-timestamp Add timestamp to nodes, ways and relations. Use with
care, this option can cause problems when used
inappropriatelyExample code:
import logging
import ogr2osm
# 1. Set the logging level of the logger object named 'ogr2osm' to the desired output level
ogr2osmlogger = logging.getLogger('ogr2osm')
ogr2osmlogger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
ogr2osmlogger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
# 2. Required parameters for this example:
# - datasource_parameter is a variable holding the input filename, or a
# database connection such as "PG:dbname=pdx_bldgs user=emma host=localhost"
datasource_parameter = ...
# - in case your datasource is a database, you will need a query
query = ...
# - the output file to write
output_file = ...
# 3. Create the translation object. If no translation is required you
# can use the base class from ogr2osm, otherwise you need to instantiate
# a subclass of ogr2osm.TranslationBase
translation_object = ogr2osm.TranslationBase()
# 4. Create the ogr datasource. You can specify a source projection but
# EPSG:4326 will be assumed if none is given and if the projection of the
# datasource is unknown.
datasource = ogr2osm.OgrDatasource(translation_object)
# Optional constructor parameters:
# - source_proj4: --proj4 parameter
# - source_epsg: --epsg parameter
# - gisorder: --gis-order parameter
# - source_encoding: --encoding parameter
datasource.open_datasource(datasource_parameter)
# Optional open_datasource parameters:
# - prefer_mem_copy: --no-memory-copy parameter
# 5. If the datasource is a database then you must set the query to use.
# Setting the query for any other datasource is useless but not an error.
datasource.set_query(query)
# 6. Instantiate the ogr to osm converter class ogr2osm.OsmData and start the
# conversion process
osmdata = ogr2osm.OsmData(translation_object)
# Optional constructor parameters:

osmdata.output(datawriter)Refer to contour-osm for a complete example with a custom translation class and coordinate reprojection.
ogr2osm supports custom translations for your data. To do this you need to subclass ogr2osm.TranslationBase and override the methods in which you want to run custom code.
class TranslationBase:
def filter_layer(self, layer):
'''
Override this method if you want to modify the given layer,
or return None if you want to suppress the layer
'''
return layer
def filter_feature(self, ogrfeature, layer_fields, reproject):
'''
Override this method if you want to modify the given feature,
or return None if you want to suppress the feature
Note 1: layer_fields contains a tuple (index, field_name, field_type)
Note 2: reproject is a function to convert the feature to 4326 projection
with coordinates in traditional gis order. However, do not return the
reprojected feature since it will be done again in ogr2osm.
'''
return ogrfeature
def filter_tags(self, tags):
'''
Override this method if you want to modify or add tags to the xml output
'''
return tags
def merge_tags(self, geometry_type, tags_existing_geometry, tags_new_geometry):
'''
This method is called when two geometries are found to be duplicates.
Override this method if you want to customize how the tags of both
geometries should be merged. The parameter geometry_type is a string
containing either 'node', 'way', 'reverse_way' or 'relation', depending
on which type of geometry the tags belong to. Type 'reverse_way' is a
special case of 'way', it indicates both ways are duplicates when one
of them is reversed. The parameter tags_existing_geometry is a
dictionary containing a list of values for each key, the list will be
concatenated to a comma-separated string when writing the output file.
The parameter tags_new_geometry is a dictionary containing a string
value for each key.
Return None if the tags cannot be merged. As a result both geometries
will be included in the output file, each with their respective tags.
Warning: not merging geometries will lead to invalid osm files and
has an impact on the detection of duplicates among their parents.
'''
tags = {}
# ...
# Default behaviour: add all tags from both geometries
# If both contain the same key with a different value, then relate
# the key to a comma separated list of both values
# ...
return tags
def process_feature_post(self, osmgeometry, ogrfeature, ogrgeometry):
'''
This method is called after the creation of an OsmGeometry object. The
ogr feature and ogr geometry used to create the object are passed as
well. Note that any return values will be discarded by ogr2osm.
'''
pass
def process_output(self, osmnodes, osmways, osmrelations):
'''
Override this method if you want to modify the list of nodes, ways or
relations, or take any additional actions right before writing the
objects to the OSM file. Note that any return values will be discarded
by ogr2osm.
