Approach
Navitia is an open-source web API, initially built to provide traveler information on urban transportation networks. Its main purpose is to provide day-to-day informations to travelers. Over time, Navitia has been able to do way more, sometimes for technical and debuging purpose or because other functional needs fit quite well in what Navitia can do or just because it was quite easy and super cool.
Technically, Navitia is a HATEOAS API that returns JSON formated results.
