Add support for ndgeojson / GeoJSONSeq / GeoJSON Text Sequences

Open andrewharvey opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Motivation

I'm thinking if we should support sequential GeoJSON https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/geojsonseq.html, new line delimited GeoJSON https://stevage.github.io/ndgeojson/ and GeoJSON Text Sequences https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8142 out of the box, transparently with the geojson source.

Design Alternatives

Don't support this out of the box and instead rely on a custom source api #2920 and plugin to implement.

Design

I'm proposing to support sequential geojson transparently though auto-detection so no API changes are needed.

I’ve written a guide showing how it can be done, but it’s definitely a lot more complicated for the user than supporting it as a data source like regular GeoJSON.

Feel free to use any of this code, it’s pretty rudimentary and I’m sure you’ll do better.
