- 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.
- A WKT file holds the shapes of a map as plain Well-Known Text, one geometry per line, such as POINT (18.068 59.329) or MULTIPOLYGON (((18.06 59.328,18.065 59.328,18.065 59.325,18.06 59.325))). It is the geometry-only form of WKT that PostGIS, shapely, QGIS and other GIS tools read.
