Converting NMEA data to JSON: what matters

Why conversion is more than simply renaming fields.

Converting NMEA to JSON sounds simple, but quickly becomes demanding when timestamps, units, missing values, and multiple data sources are involved.

Data model

A good JSON model does not mirror the raw sentence. It represents the domain meaning of the data, which makes APIs and later analysis easier.

Quality rules

Checksums, required fields, units, and plausibility should be validated before data reaches production systems.
