Javascript Parser for Metar Data

Javascript application for parsing weather data from raw metar format to human friendly format.

Parser support the parsing of raw metar data given in format FM-15 as described at https://math.la.asu.edu/~eric/workshop/METAR.html and in chapter-12 of the reference document metar-format-reference.pdf included with the package.

If the raw metar data comes in some other format the parser will try its best to parse at much data as possible.

Note: The current version of parser parses all the data contained in the main body of raw metar data and does not parse the information contained in the remark section.
