var file = new osmium.File( 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.mapzen.com/london_england.osm.pbf', 'pbf' );
var stream = new OsmiumStream( new osmium.Reader( file ) );
 
stream.pipe( through.obj( function( object, enc, next ){
  console.log( JSON.stringify( object, null, 2 ) );
  next();
}));
