Sending decoded JSON data over TCP

[laleft]

Hello everyone. Is there any way I can send the decoded data in JSON format over TCP, as shown in the output with the -o 5 option? My idea is to open a socket from Node.js and read the JSON from there. Thank you!

Hello, only the -o 3 equivalent. Just had a look if I can quickly implement this. Will do in the coming days. I think it is a useful addition.

Ok, did a quick prototype, need some more testing, but looks doable without too much change

Hello, Jasper! Thanks for the quick response!!

I'd be happy to test it once the change is available.

Thank you very much for your time and for this awesome project!

Just uploaded the work from last night. If you want to send JSON with full decoding as a TCP client:

AIS-catcher -P localhost 32000 JSON_FULL on

with netcat -l -p 32000 you will see full JSON on the receiving end. Notice that JSON on will only send over the shortened version, which is the NMEA plus the meta data.

Give it a try :-)
