FAQ
JSON to IFF Conversion
What are JSON files?
JSON is a general-purpose text extension, and several geographic data formats are saved under it. The best known is GeoJSON, a simple and popular way to store points, lines, and polygons with their attributes, which web maps and many services use. TopoJSON is a more compact relative of GeoJSON that stores shared borders only once, so neighboring regions do not repeat the same line. Esri JSON is the form in which Esri's web services return features, and OGC Features and Geometries JSON, called JSON-FG for short, is a newer extension of GeoJSON from the Open Geospatial Consortium that adds coordinate systems other than WGS 84, time, solids, and curved shapes. All of them are readable text, so a file can be opened in any text editor.
What are IFF files?
IFF is an old image format associated with Amiga computers — a brand connected to Commodore, which used to be popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Commodore was one of the first types of personal computers to gain wide popularity among home users. An IFF file most likely contains an image that was created or edited using an image handling program on an Amiga computer. IFF files are currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so opening them with regular image viewers might be difficult.
