VATSIM data parser

Vatsimphp

Vatsimphp collects and parses the publically available statistics from the VATSIM.net network. It provides iterators for the available data and basic search/filtering capabilities without using a database backend., _(*1)

Vatsimphp uses an intelligent local file cache to avoid consuming unnecessary bandwidth from the public data servers. The software comes with sensible default settings, but can be changed if required. Vatsimphp can be dropped into your crontab very easily to avoid inline data updates in your web application., _(*2)

A "cache only" node is available if another process is already responsible to retrieve the raw data files from the VATSIM network or if live connections are not applicable., _(*3)

Vatsimphp can be easily plugged into existing PHP systems to query VATSIM data or feed the parsed results into a database backend of your choice., _(*4)
