There are various flavors of newline-delimited GeoJSON, all of which we aim to handle here. See Details for more.
ndgeo_write(x, file, sep = "\n")
## Default S3 method:
ndgeo_write(x, file, sep = "\n")
## S3 method for class 'geofeaturecollection'
ndgeo_write(x, file, sep = "\n")
## S3 method for class 'geofeature'
ndgeo_write(x, file, sep = "\n")
ndgeo_read(txt, pagesize = 500, verbose = TRUE)
x |
input, an object of class |
file |
(character) a file. not a connection. required. |
sep |
(character) a character separator to use in |
txt |
text, a file, or a url. required. |
pagesize |
(integer) number of lines to read/write from/to the connection per iteration |
verbose |
(logical) print messages. default: |
ndgeo_write
: writes geojson package types as
newline-delimited GeoJSON to a file
ndgeo_read
: reads newline-delimited GeoJSON from a string,
file, or URL into the appropriate geojson type
As an alternative to ndgeo_read
, you can simply use
jsonlite::stream_in()
to convert newline-delimited GeoJSON
to a data.frame
a geojson
class object
IMPORTANT: ngeo_read
for now only handles lines of geojson
in your file that are either features or geometry objects (e.g., point,
multipoint, polygon, multipolygon, linestring, multilinestring)
Newline-delimited JSON has a few flavors. The only difference between ndjson http://ndjson.org/ and JSON Lines https://jsonlines.org/ I can tell is that the former requires UTF-8 encoding, while the latter does not.
GeoJSON text sequences has a specification found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8142. The spec states that:
a GeoJSON text sequence is any number of GeoJSON RFC7946 texts
each line encoded in UTF-8 RFC3629
each line preceded by one ASCII RFC20 record separator (RS; "0x1e") character
each line followed by a line feed (LF)
each JSON text MUST contain a single GeoJSON object as defined in RFC7946
