- Description
- TopoJSON is a file format for encoding geographic data structures, based on the GeoJSON format. It encodes geometries more efficiently and supports topology, which enables more accurate representations of geographic objects. TopoJSON eliminates redundancy and simplifies data, making it smaller and easier to work with.
- Data set used by ESRI ArcView, a geographic analysis application; stores a collection of geographic features, such as streets, points of interest, and zip code boundaries; can be used to store point, line, or area features.
