FAQ
JSON to PLT 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 PLT files?
PLT is a vector image format representing the HPGL standard language developed by Hewlett-Packard for printing line drawings. HPGL is supported by AutoCAD and other CAD software programs. PLT files represent plotter images that can be printed using a computer printer specialized in vector graphics (called "plotter"), which renders images as lines not as dots.
