GeoMongo

The GeoMongo package utilizes methods of the PyMongo Python library to initialize, insert and query GeoJson data. Furthermore, it allows the user to validate GeoJson objects and to use the console for MongoDB (bulk) commands. The reticulate package provides the R interface to Python modules, classes and functions. More details on the functionality of GeoMongo can be found in the blog post and in the package Vignette.
