geojson2SPDF: Converts A geoJSON string to a Spatial Object

In nmmarquez/shapecode: Geocode locations while building spatial objects

Description

Converts a geoJSON string to a spatial object using the readOGR function from the rgdal package.

Usage

geojson2SPDF(geoJSONstr, ...)

Arguments

geoJSONstr	str, a valid geoJSON string in a character vector of length 1.
...	, additional parameters passed to readOGR

Value

A spatial object with class coresponding to the class of the equivilent geoJSON object type.

A spatial object with class coresponding to the class of the equivilent geoJSON object type.

Examples

# Make a simple polygon object
simplePolygon <- '{
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
    [
        [-64.73, 32.31],
        [-80.19, 25.76],
        [-66.09, 18.43],
        [-64.73, 32.31]
        ]
    ]
}'

# transform it to spatial polygon and plot
sp::plot(geojson2SPDF(simplePolygon, verbose=FALSE))
