Dear OSM Developers, we have begun to work on a new implementation of the OSM Xapi. We use the javascript based framework node.js to minimize the memory footprint per request.
As backend we currently rely on postgres with the postgis extension. The database schema in use is pgsql_snapshot_0.6 with linestring column added for ways. We use the hstore extension to postgres to store the tags of the data primitives. It's also possible to write and integrate other database backends. As license we have chosen the AGPLv3 and the CDDL. You can take a look at the code base and/or participate actively in the development at github [1]. The developer mailinglist is [email protected]. Feel free to leave us a message. Please report bugs and submit feature enhancements to [2]. If you don't have a github account and don't want to create one you can also submit your suggestions via mail. We will release a beta version and provide a running instance as soon as possible (planned for 16.06.2011). Best regards, xappy.js Team [1] https://github.com/osm-spline/xapi.
