Installation
------------

python-geojson is compatible with Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. It is listed on `PyPi as 'geojson'`_. The recommended way to install is via pip_:

.. code::

pip install geojson

.. _PyPi as 'geojson': https://pypi.python.org/pypi/geojson/
.. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org

GeoJSON Objects
---------------

This library implements all the `GeoJSON Objects`_ described in `The GeoJSON Format Specification`_.

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"}'

Helpful utilities
-----------------

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"}
