GeoJSON encoding/decoding
-------------------------
All of the GeoJSON Objects implemented in this library can be encoded and decoded into raw GeoJSON with the ``geojson.dump``, ``geojson.dumps``, ``geojson.load``, and ``geojson.loads`` functions. Note that each of these functions is a wrapper around the core `json` function with the same name, and will pass through any additional arguments. This allows you to control the JSON formatting or parsing behavior with the underlying core `json` functions.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> my_point = geojson.Point((43.24, -1.532))
>>> my_point # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
{"coordinates": [43.2..., -1.53...], "type": "Point"}
>>> dump = geojson.dumps(my_point, sort_keys=True)
>>> dump # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
'{"coordinates": [43.2..., -1.53...], "type": "Point"}'
>>> geojson.loads(dump) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
{"coordinates": [43.2..., -1.53...], "type": "Point"}
Custom classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This encoding/decoding functionality shown in the previous can be extended to custom classes using the interface described by the `__geo_interface__ Specification`_.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> class MyPoint():
... def __init__(self, x, y):
... self.x = x
... self.y = y
...
... @property
... def __geo_interface__(self):
... return {'type': 'Point', 'coordinates': (self.x, self.y)}
>>> point_instance = MyPoint(52.235, -19.234)
>>> geojson.dumps(point_instance, sort_keys=True) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
'{"coordinates": [52.23..., -19.23...], "type": "Point"}'
Default and custom precision
GeoJSON Object-based classes in this package have an additional precision attribute which rounds off
coordinates to 6 decimal places (roughly 0.1 meters) by default and can be customized per object instance.
.. code:: python
from geojson import Point
Point((-115.123412341234, 37.123412341234)) # rounded to 6 decimal places by default {"coordinates": [-115.123412, 37.123412], "type": "Point"}
Point((-115.12341234, 37.12341234), precision=8) # rounded to 8 decimal places {"coordinates": [-115.12341234, 37.12341234], "type": "Point"}
Precision can be set at the package level by setting geojson.geometry.DEFAULT_PRECISION
.. code:: python
import geojson
geojson.geometry.DEFAULT_PRECISION = 5
from geojson import Point
Point((-115.12341234, 37.12341234)) # rounded to 8 decimal places {"coordinates": [-115.12341, 37.12341], "type": "Point"}
After setting the DEFAULT_PRECISION, coordinates will be rounded off to that precision with geojson.load or geojson.loads. Following one of those with geojson.dump is a quick and easy way to scale down the precision of excessively precise, arbitrarily-sized GeoJSON data.
coords
:code:`geojson.utils.coords` yields all coordinate tuples from a geometry or feature object.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> my_line = LineString([(-152.62, 51.21), (5.21, 10.69)])
>>> my_feature = geojson.Feature(geometry=my_line)
>>> list(geojson.utils.coords(my_feature)) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[(-152.62..., 51.21...), (5.21..., 10.69...)]
map_coords
:code:geojson.utils.map_coords maps a function over all coordinate values and returns a geometry of the same type. Useful for scaling a geometry.
.. code:: python
import geojson
new_point = geojson.utils.map_coords(lambda x: x/2, geojson.Point((-115.81, 37.24)))
geojson.dumps(new_point, sort_keys=True) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS '{"coordinates": [-57.905..., 18.62...], "type": "Point"}'
map_tuples
:code:`geojson.utils.map_tuples` maps a function over all coordinates and returns a geometry of the same type. Useful for changing coordinate order or applying coordinate transforms.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> new_point = geojson.utils.map_tuples(lambda c: (c[1], c[0]), geojson.Point((-115.81, 37.24)))
>>> geojson.dumps(new_point, sort_keys=True) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
'{"coordinates": [37.24..., -115.81], "type": "Point"}'
map_geometries
:code:geojson.utils.map_geometries maps a function over each geometry in the input.
.. code:: python
import geojson
new_point = geojson.utils.map_geometries(lambda g: geojson.MultiPoint([g["coordinates"]]), geojson.GeometryCollection([geojson.Point((-115.81, 37.24))]))
geojson.dumps(new_point, sort_keys=True) '{"geometries": [{"coordinates": [[-115.81, 37.24]], "type": "MultiPoint"}], "type": "GeometryCollection"}'
validation
:code:`is_valid` property provides simple validation of GeoJSON objects.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> obj = geojson.Point((-3.68,40.41,25.14,10.34))
>>> obj.is_valid
False
:code:`errors` method provides collection of errors when validation GeoJSON objects.
.. code:: python
>>> import geojson
>>> obj = geojson.Point((-3.68,40.41,25.14,10.34))
>>> obj.errors()
'a position must have exactly 2 or 3 values'
generate_random
:code:geojson.utils.generate_random yields a geometry type with random data
.. code:: python
import geojson
geojson.utils.generate_random("LineString") # doctest: +ELLIPSIS {"coordinates": [...], "type": "LineString"}
geojson.utils.generate_random("Polygon") # doctest: +ELLIPSIS {"coordinates": [...], "type": "Polygon"}
