osm2geojson
A Python library for converting OpenStreetMap and Overpass API XML/JSON data into GeoJSON format.
What is osm2geojson?
osm2geojson is a Python library that converts OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Overpass API data from XML or JSON formats into GeoJSON. It solves the problem of integrating raw OSM data into modern mapping applications and GIS tools that require the GeoJSON standard, providing a clean and programmable interface for this transformation.
Geospatial developers, data scientists, and GIS professionals who work with OpenStreetMap data and need to convert it into GeoJSON for visualization, analysis, or integration with other mapping libraries.
Developers choose osm2geojson because it offers a dedicated, well-tested Python solution for OSM-to-GeoJSON conversion with support for both XML and JSON inputs, direct Overpass API querying, and the flexibility of intermediate Shapely geometry objects.
