Welcome to the Navitia repository!
Navitia is a webservice providing:
- multi-modal journeys computation
- line schedules
- next departures
- exploration of public transport data
- search & autocomplete on places
- sexy things such as isochrones
Its main purpose is to provide day-to-day informations to travelers.
Over time, Navitia has been able to do way more, sometimes for technical and debuging purpose or because other functional needs fit quite well in what Navitia can do or just because it was quite easy and super cool.
Technically, Navitia is a HATEOAS API that returns JSON formated results.
Developments on Navitia are lead by Hove (previously Kisio Digital and CanalTP).
Hove is a subsidiary of Keolis (itself a subsidiary of SNCF, French national railway company).

Signup, grab a token, read the doc and start using the API!
For a more friendly interface you can use the API through navitia playground (no matter the server used).
The easiest way to have your own navitia is to use the navitia docker-compose.
Use this only if the docker does not suit your needs and if you are an experienced user 😉
If you want to build navitia, develop in it or read more about technical details please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md.

Navitia is made of 3 main modules:
- Kraken is the c++ core (Heavy computation)
- Jörmungandr is the python frontend (Webservice and lighter computation)
- Ed is the postgres database (Used for preliminary binarization)
Kraken and Jörmungandr communicate with each other through protocol buffer messages sent by ZMQ.
Ed produces a binary file used by Kraken.

Navitia is written in C++ / python, here are some alternatives:
- OpenTripPlanner : written in java.
More information here https://github.com/hove-io/navitia/wiki/OpenTripPlanner-and-Navitia-comparison. - rrrr : the lightest one, written in python/c
- Synthese : full stack, with CMS, written all in C++
- Mumoro : an R&D MUltiModal MUltiObjective ROuting algorithm
