    {
        type: 'station',
        id: '900000009101',
        name: 'U Amrumer Str.',
        location: {
            type: 'location',
            latitude: 52.542202,
            longitude: 13.349534

You can filter all stations by id or any property (lodash.get will be used).

const stations = require('vbb-stations')

console.log(stations('900000009101')) // query a single station
console.log(stations({ // filter by property
    weight: 3563,
    'location.latitude': 52.542202
}))
