Query for multiple nodes, ways, or relations at once by ID about osmexpress HOT 3 CLOSED

@CloudNiner that's correct. calling getReader(id) costs almost nothing.

I think using the programmatic API is better than extending the command line API to handle multiple objects, it would be complicated to specify if you only wanted a subset of tags, or if you had more than several thousand IDs to look up. are you using Python? that may be more convenient to query the DB with, but will be slower than if you compile a C++ program against the headers

👍 that makes sense -- we'll press forward with the programmatic API. Thanks again for the quick response!

My overall design goal is to make access via C++ or Python (see #4) very convenient so developers use that, instead of adding more flags and complexity to the command line interface, which can be limited to basic debugging use.

I've started to flesh out more examples of the programmatic API with Python: https://github.com/protomaps/OSMExpress/blob/master/python/examples/web_server.py
