- Description
- An OSM file contains street map information in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) format. It saves XML-formatted data in the form of "nodes" (points), "ways" (connections), and "relations" (street and object properties, such as tags).
- A GeoJSON file is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is a widely used open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes. GeoJSON supports various geographical data types such as points, lines, polygons, and multi-part collections of these types. It is commonly used for storing and exchanging spatial data on the web, as well as within various Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
