[osmosis-dev] OSM entity processing order

[Nicolas Colomer]

Hi Osmosis community!

When I manipulate an OSM file (compressed or not) using Osmosis, can we
assume that entities will systematically be processed in this order:
1.bound, 2.node, 3.way, 4.relation?

This seems logical since the OSM file format guarantees that "blocks come
in this order" (see the OSM XML #File
format<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_XML#OSM_XML_file_format>
wiki
page).

In addition, I reach a
post<http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmosis-dev/2011-March/000949.html>
where
Brett told:

> This is due to the way Osmosis processing works because it finishes
processing nodes before it sees the ways.

I just want to make sure my impression is good :)

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Nicolas
