Osmosis is a command line Java application for processing OSM data. The tool consists of a series of pluggable components that can be chained together to perform a larger operation. For example, it has components for reading from database and from file, components for writing to database and to file, components for deriving and applying change sets to data sources, components for sorting data, etc. It has been written so that it is easy to add new features without re-writing common tasks such as file or database handling.

Some examples of the things it can currently do are:

• Generate  from a 
• Load  into a 
• Produce  using database history tables
• Apply  to a local database
• Compare two  files and produce a change set
• Re-sort the data contained in planet dump files
• Extract data inside a  or
