A Ruby library for encoding and decoding GeoJSON data using RGeo's geometric objects.
rgeo-geojson is a Ruby library that provides GeoJSON encoding and decoding functionality as an extension to the RGeo gem. It allows developers to convert between GeoJSON data and RGeo's geometric objects, enabling seamless integration of geographic data structures in Ruby applications. The library solves the problem of handling standardized geographic data formats within Ruby's ecosystem.
Ruby developers building location-aware applications, GIS tools, or services that need to process or exchange geographic data in GeoJSON format.
Developers choose rgeo-geojson because it integrates tightly with RGeo's industry-standard geometric operations, provides a simple and reliable way to work with GeoJSON, and is maintained as part of the reputable RGeo project ecosystem.

Seamlessly converts between GeoJSON and RGeo geometries, allowing direct use of RGeo's robust geometric operations like spatial analysis on decoded data.
Implements the GeoJSON specification accurately, ensuring reliable data exchange with other GIS tools and APIs, as emphasized in the README's philosophy.
Provides straightforward encode and decode methods with minimal boilerplate, demonstrated in the README example for quick adoption.
Part of the reputable RGeo ecosystem with active CI testing and community support, indicated by badges and GitHub activity for stability.
Requires Ruby 2.1+ and RGeo 1.0+, adding complexity and potential version conflicts in legacy or constrained Ruby environments.
Exclusively tied to Ruby and RGeo, making it unsuitable for projects needing cross-language GeoJSON handling or integration with non-Ruby systems.
For simple GeoJSON tasks like basic parsing, the full RGeo integration can be excessive, introducing unnecessary bloat and a steeper learning curve.
