Maplint/XML Format

When Maplint is run it adds several elements to the OSM XML file. All those elements are in the namespace http://maplint.openstreetmap.org/xml/1.0 and use the prefix maplint.

At the beginning of the OSM file right after the opening <osm> a <maplint:test/> element will be added for each test which was run on this file. This will look something like this:

 <maplint:test agent="xsltests" group="base" id="empty-tag-key" version="1" severity="error"/>
agentThis is the program which added ran the test
idThis is the id of the test
groupEvery test is in a group which is named here. This might be useful if you only want to run part of the tests
versionA version number for this test
severitySeverity of this test. Can be "error", "warning", or "notice"

Then later in the file, for each <node/>, <segment/>, or <way/> which fails a certain test, a <maplint:result/> element will be added. This will look something like this:

 <maplint:result ref="nodes-on-same-spot">Nodes: 25182824 25182841 25185062 25185067</maplint:result>

In this case this means that the nodes-on-same-spot test was run which detects if there are multiple nodes on the exact same spot. The ref attribute references back to the <maplint:test id="nodes-on-same-spot"/> element earlier. The text content of the result element is either empty or contains some additional information useful for printing in error reports. In this case the list of IDs of all node sharing the same location.
