GeoJSONstandardi

GeoJSON standardi is a popular open standard format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. It is based on the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The primary purpose of GeoJSON is to represent common geographic features such as points, lines, polygons, and multi-part geometries. It also supports features with associated properties, allowing for the storage of metadata alongside the spatial information. The specification defines several geometry types, including Point, MultiPoint, LineString, MultiLineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection. A GeoJSON object can represent a single geometry, a collection of geometries, or a feature with properties and a geometry. GeoJSON is widely used in web mapping applications, geographic information systems (GIS), and data exchange between different software systems. Its human-readable text-based format and its foundation in JSON make it easily parsable by many programming languages. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has registered the media type application/geo+json for GeoJSON data. The standard is maintained by the GeoJSON Working Group and has seen significant adoption due to its simplicity and interoperability.
