geojsonR (version 1.1.1)

FROM_GeoJson: reads GeoJson data

Description

reads GeoJson data

Usage

FROM_GeoJson(
  url_file_string,
  Flatten_Coords = FALSE,
  Average_Coordinates = FALSE,
  To_List = FALSE
)

Value

a (nested) list

Arguments

url_file_string

a string specifying the input path to a file OR a geojson object (in form of a character string) OR a valid url (beginning with 'http..') pointing to a geojson object

Flatten_Coords

either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE then the properties member of the geojson file will be omitted during parsing.

Average_Coordinates

either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE then additionally a geojson-dump and the average latitude and longitude of the geometry object will be returned.

To_List

either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE then the coordinates of the geometry object will be returned in form of a list, otherwise in form of a numeric matrix.

Details

The FROM_GeoJson function is based on the 'RFC 7946' specification. Thus, geojson files/strings which include property-names other than the 'RFC 7946' specifies will return an error. To avoid errors of that kind a user should take advantage of the FROM_GeoJson_Schema function, which is not as strict concerning the property names.

Examples

if (FALSE) {

library(geojsonR)


# INPUT IS A FILE

res = FROM_GeoJson(url_file_string = "/myfolder/feature_collection.geojson")


# INPUT IS A GEOJSON (character string)

tmp_str = '{ "type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [
  [[[102.0, 2.0], [103.0, 2.0], [103.0, 3.0], [102.0, 3.0], [102.0, 2.0]]],
  [[[100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0], [100.0, 1.0], [100.0, 0.0]],
   [[100.2, 0.2], [100.8, 0.2], [100.8, 0.8], [100.2, 0.8], [100.2, 0.2]]]
  ]
}'

res = FROM_GeoJson(url_file_string = tmp_str)


# INPUT IS A URL

res = FROM_GeoJson(url_file_string = "http://www.EXAMPLE_web_page.geojson")
