GeoJSON – GeoJSON Java Library

geojsonjavajson

I am creating a Java web service that receives GeoJSON.

Does anyone know a java library to manage GeoJSON?

Best Answer

Geotools as a support for geojson. See here.

Otherwise, you could simply use a typical JSON parser (such as json-simple) together with the geoJSON spec, which is really easy to use.

The best solution depends on what you want to do with the parsed information.

GeoJSON – Converting ArcGIS Server JSON to GeoJSON

OGR:

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON test.json "http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hydrography/Watershed173811/FeatureServer/0/query?where=objectid+%3D+objectid&outfields=*&f=json" OGRGeoJSON

That command will read the query result directly from the URL. You can also supply it with a text file containing your JSON or you can directly supply encoded JSON on the command line. You can of course use ORG Python bindings to automate it within a script if necessary, or the library to do it in code.

For those that like web services, see Ogre an ogr2ogr web client which can convert json to geojson to and back, as well as geojson to shapefile.
