[GIS] ArcGIS – Convert a Shapefile into JSON with coordinates

arcgis-desktopjsonshapefile

I have a shapefile and I would like to convert in ESRI Json with ArcGIS toolbox From feature to JSON.
When i convert it I visualize x and y values in meters while I want latitude and longitude information.
How can I set this option to visualize geo coordinates in json file?

Some of the geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS respect output coordinate system environment setting, but not this one.

You need to run the Project tool beforehand creating a projected shapefile first (use the WGS 1984 GCS). This will create a new shapefile on the disk with coordinates defined in lat/long.

The "Layer input already exists" error is due to an existing file "output.csv", presumably from a previous attempt. This file needs to be deleted to make a new file (the -overwrite option sometimes works, but not always). From POSIX shells, use rm output.csv, or from a Windows shell, use del output.csv

To only show X,Y fields, provide an empty select field list to ogr2ogr by using: -select ""
