NextbusJS
node.js javascript
NextbusJS is a wrapper around the Nextbus API written for Node.js and Titanium. Data about the agency can be cached on the server and used on the client, which is what we do for the Rutgers Mobile App.
More information is available on the Github page.
Example
var rutgers = require('nextbusjs').client();
rutgers.cacheAgency('rutgers', function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
} else {
rutgers.routePredict('a', null, function (err, data) {
// data will contain:
