SDMX-JSON parser

A JavaScript library to parse SDMX-JSON messages.

Installation

npm install sdmx-json-parser

Usage

SDMX-JSON-parser provides a set of utility function to parse a SDMX-JSON message and extract data arrays.

The method getDataset must be called prior to using any other method. It takes a SDMX REST URL as first parameter and an optional fetchOptions object as second parameter (doc). This fetch options can be used for instance to pass custom headers to the request like Accept-language to select the response language.

Every SDMX concepts (observation, dimensions, attributes) are given at observation level in the different methods (getData, getAttributes, getDimensions). When observations are organized in series within a dataSet, the parser expand them as an array of observations concatenating the keys.

import { SDMXParser } from sdmx-json-parser;

const sdmxDataUrl = "https://stats-nsi-stable.pacificdata.org/rest/data/SPC,DF_IMTS,4.0/M..AMT.TB+X+M.IV+I+II+III._T._T.USD?startPeriod=2015-01&dimensionAtObservation=AllDimensions";

const parser = new SDMXParser();
await parser.getDataset(sdmxDataUrl);
const name = parser.getName();
const description = parser.getDescription();
const dimensions = parser.getActiveDimensions();
const activeDimensions = parser.getDimensions();
const annotations = parser.getAnnotations();
const observations = parser.getObservations();

data = sdmx.getData(); // returns a simplified array of observations with dimension and attributes values
const slicedData = parser.getData({GEO_PICT: ['NR']}); // slice by dimension Id (GEO_PICT) values (['NR'])
