geojsonio 0.0.2

geojsonio CLI - Python.

Open GeoJSON data on geojson.io from Python. geojsonio.py also contains a command line utility that is a Python port of geojsonio-cli.

Usage

Send data to geojson.io and open a browser within python

from geojsonio import display

with open('map.geojson') as f:
    contents = f.read()
    display(contents)

Goes Great With GeoPandas

geojsonio.py integrates nicely with GeoPandas to display data in a GeoDataFrame.

Say you have a file containing the borders of all states called states.geojson. Each GeoJSON record has a property called 'Name'. Quickly display all the states whose names start with 'M'

import geopandas as gpd
import geojsonio

states = gpd.read_file('states.geojson')
m_states = states[states['Name'].str.startswith('M')]
geojsonio.display(m_states.to_json())

This will open a browser to the geojson.io window with the polygons drawn on the slippy map.

IPython Notebook Integration

To easily embed geojson.io in an iframe in a Jupyter/IPython notebook, use the embed() method

embed(contents)

Command Line Interface

It can also be used on the command line. Read or pipe a file

$ geojsonio map.geojson
$ geojsonio < run.geojson

Options:

--print prints the url rather than opening it
--domain="http://custominstancedomain.com/"

Installation

Install with pip

$ pip install geojsonio
