alt Hacker NewsI’ve had nothing but problems using GeoJson. The specification has limitations everywhere and doesn’t even support z + m values at the same time.
But thankfully there is also the SQLite backed GeoPackage, which is not only more flexible but also much smaller. It takes some extra steps to get testing teams working due to it’s binary nature, but other than that it is the best format in geospatial data analysis.
Long live SQLite!
I'm glad there are sqlite backed file formats in that space. Having that said, they're not always the ideal choice.
For example, for map tiles mbtiles (sqlite) files can be used. In many applications though, pmtiles files are better because they allow for http range requests.
