A MapInfo TAB dataset describes geographic features and their attributes. Its text .tab header refers to companion .dat, .map and .id files, which must be kept together. It is not tab-separated text (TSV).
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).
