GeoJSON linters available in geojsonlint

GeoJSON hint JS library - via geojson_hint() - currently using geojsonhint v1.2.1
is-my-json-valid JS library - via geojson_validate()

Both functions return the same outputs. If the GeoJSON is valid, they return TRUE. If the GeoJSON is invalid, they return FALSE, plus reason(s) that the GeoJSON is invalid in an attribute named errors as a data.frame. The fields in the data.frame's are not the same across functions unfortunately, but they can be easily coerced to combine via e.g., plyr::rbind.fill or dplyr::bind_rows or data.table::rbindlist(fill = TRUE)

The parameters for the three functions are similar, though geojson_validate() has an extra parameter greedy that's not available in the others.

Good GeoJSON

Bad GeoJSON

geojsonhint JS library

Bad GeoJSON - with reason for failure

geojsonhint JS library

is-my-json-valid JS library

geojson_validate('{ "type": "FeatureCollection" }', inform = TRUE)

Bad GeoJSON - stop on validation failure

geojsonhint JS library

geojson_hint('{"type": "FooBar"}', error = TRUE)
#> Error: Line 1
