GeoJSON |
GeoJSON is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures.
{% highlight json %} { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [125.6, 10.1] }, "properties": { "name": "Dinagat Islands" } } {% endhighlight %}
GeoJSON supports the following geometry types: Point, LineString,
Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, and MultiPolygon. Geometric
objects with additional properties are Feature objects. Sets of features are
contained by FeatureCollection objects.
In 2015, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), in conjunction with the original specification authors, formed a GeoJSON WG to standardize GeoJSON. RFC 7946 was published in August 2016 and is the new standard specification of the GeoJSON format, replacing the 2008 GeoJSON specification.
