tak.js

Lightweight JavaScript library for parsing and manipulating TAK messages, primarily Cursor-on-Target (COT)

About

tak.js converts between TAK message protocols and a Javascript object/JSON format. This makes it easy to read and write TAK messages in a Node.js application.

Installation

NPM

npm install @vidterra/tak.js

tak.js currently requires the use of Node.js 14.x LTS and higher
