FAQ
GEOJSONL to SHP Conversion
What are GEOJSONL files?
GEOJSONL is a text format for large collections of geographic features, in which each line of the file is a complete GeoJSON feature, with its shape and attributes. A regular GeoJSON file wraps all features in a single container, so a program has to read the whole file before it can use any of them. In a line-delimited file the features are independent, so they can be read, filtered, and processed one at a time, and new features can be added at the end simply by writing another line. This makes the format popular for very big data sets and for passing data between tools in a pipeline. The same idea is described in RFC 8142, the standard of GeoJSON Text Sequences, which was published by Mapbox.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
