The curl hooked me for some reason... Anyways, dug in a bit, and it seems that the format is nil delimited objects, which have the acList field. I wrote a quick class which does what you want, and assuming they don't change quoting on the actual json records, it should continue to work. No promises.
If you want a more continuous stream of position objects, you can add some checks for the byte header of the payload. https://gist.github.com/dansimpson/6e326b0e91fc72ac994347c0040d7221 On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 2:15 PM, Chris McCann <testflyj...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm looking into processing a stream of aircraft position data provided > here: > > http://pub-vrs.adsbexchange.com:32005 > > This effectively returns a JSON array of data structures with > aircraft-reported information including latitude and longitude > positioning.
