esri2open
An ESRI ArcGIS toolbox and Python script to export ESRI Feature Classes to open data formats like CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, and SQLite.
What is esri2open?
esri2open is a toolset that exports ESRI ArcGIS feature classes to open data formats like CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and SQLite. It solves the problem of government and institutional users being unable to easily share spatial data from proprietary ESRI ecosystems in web-friendly, interoperable formats. The tool integrates directly into the ArcGIS desktop interface, requiring no additional software infrastructure.
Government geospatial staff, urban planners, and organizational users who manage spatial data exclusively with ESRI ArcGIS software and need to publish or share data in open formats. It is specifically designed for users operating within ESRI-only infrastructures without access to open-source GIS tools.
Developers choose esri2open because it provides a native, low-license-level export capability within ArcGIS itself, eliminating the need for external conversion tools or software. Its unique selling point is enabling direct participation in open data initiatives from within the ESRI ecosystem, with support for batch processing and multiple geometry representations.
