-Description: simple library to parse OpenStreetMap files - debug symbols
- ReadOSM is an open source library to extract valid data from within an
- OpenStreetMap input file. Such OSM files come in two different
- formats, .osm (XML) and .pbf.
- .
- Some of the design goals of ReadOSM are:
-  - to be simple and lightweight
-  - to be stable, robust and efficient
-  - to be easily and universally portable
-  - making the whole parsing process of both .osm or .osm.pbf files
-    completely transparent from the application own perspective.
- .
- This package contains detached symbols useful for debugging.
