GeoJSON: A Lightweight Format for Encoding Geographic Data

GeoJSON is a format for encoding geographical data structures using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It's used to represent geographic features, such as points, lines, and polygons, along with their associated properties. GeoJSON is lightweight, easy to read and write, making it perfect for web-based mapping applications. It has wide support from mapping libraries and tools, including Google Maps, Leaflet, and Mapbox. You can create GeoJSON files using various tools like GIS software, online mapping platforms, and programming languages such as Python and JavaScript.
