Java Marine API

About

Java Marine API is an NMEA 0183 parser library for Java. It aims to enable easy access to data provided by various marine devices such as GPS, echo sounder and weather instruments.

Features

Detects and reads NMEA sentences from any input stream, e.g. file, serial port, TCP/IP or UDP socket etc. The plain ASCII data is converted to event/listener model with interfaces and parser implementations for selected sentences. Custom parsers may also be implemented and integrated by extending the provided base classes. Data output is also supported by allowing the modification of sentence contents with data formatting and validation. In addition, some general utility classes are provided for handling the information extracted from sentences. Higher-level data updates may be aquired through providers that translate NMEA updates to direct measurement updates.

See the Github page for further info and documentation.
