GeoJSON

Don Murray from Safe Software just drew our attention to a new development in the JSON world GeoJSON, which is a draft specification for a data-interchange format for a variety of geographic data structures.

We’ve been using JSON in this way for a little while to encode features when they are passed between a ResponseMX client and the server as it’s a far more compact than say GML. The draft spec. looks pretty good and we will be considering adopting GeoJSON in the near future.
