IWXXM-US Overview
type: Distribution
description: IWXXM-US was developed to support the encoding of US products (specifically, METAR, SPECI, TAF, and SIGMET) in XML. IWXXM-US builds directly off the work of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that created data models and schemas for Aviation XML (AvXML). One of the packages within AvXML is named IWXXM, and this package supports the four products mentioned above.
