The PBF (Protocolbuffer Binary Format) is a compact,
binary format used for storing and distributing OpenStreetMap (OSM)
data. It is more efficient in terms of size and processing speed
compared to the XML-based .osm format.
Key Features:
- Efficient storage: Smaller file size compared to XML
- Faster processing: Optimized for high-performance data access
- Used in OSM tools: Supported by Osmosis, osmconvert, and other OSM processing tools
PBF files contain OSM elements such as nodes, ways, and relations, and are widely used for large-scale geospatial applications.
