• Better test coverage and CI integration
• Modern build system and package structure

Features

• Efficient streaming XML parsing for large health data exports
• Memory-efficient processing with batch writing
• Support for all Apple Health data types
• Progress reporting during processing
• Error handling for malformed XML
• TypeScript support for developers

================================================================================

Usage: ahcd [-h] <file> [-t <type>] [-d <dir>]

• The ＜ file ＞ argument must be export.xml which I mentioned.
• -t outputs only a specific csv (e.g. -t BodyMass)
• -d specifies the directory to output to (e.g., -d /path/to)

Library Usage

import { AppleHealthCareData } from '@imlunahey/ahcd';
import { createReadStream } from 'fs';

async function processHealthData() {
  const ahcd = new AppleHealthCareData('./output');
  const xmlStream = createReadStream('export.xml');

  // Parse XML and write CSVs
  await ahcd.parseXml(xmlStream);
  ahcd.writeCsvs();

  // Get available data types
  const keys = ahcd.keys();
  console.log('Available data types:', keys);

  // Get CSV content for a specific type
  const heartRateCsv = ahcd.csv('HeartRate');
  console.log('Heart Rate data:', heartRateCsv);
}
