A Rust library for serializing and deserializing GeoJSON vector GIS file format.
geojson is a Rust library for working with the GeoJSON vector GIS file format. It provides tools for parsing, validating, and serializing geographic data structures according to the official GeoJSON specification. The library enables Rust developers to easily integrate geographic data into their applications with type safety and proper error handling.
Rust developers working with geographic data, GIS applications, or spatial analysis who need to read, write, or manipulate GeoJSON files in their projects.
Developers choose this library because it provides a complete, spec-compliant implementation of GeoJSON in Rust with an idiomatic API, type safety, and seamless integration with Rust's ecosystem, making it the standard choice for GeoJSON handling in Rust.

Implements all GeoJSON geometry and collection types per the official specification, ensuring correct handling of geographic data structures.
Leverages Rust's type system to enforce valid GeoJSON structures at compile time, reducing runtime errors and improving code reliability.
Supports both reading from and writing to GeoJSON strings with proper error handling, as shown in the README examples for parsing and serialization.
Preserves non-standard JSON properties during serialization/deserialization, allowing for extended use cases without data loss.
Limited to GeoJSON serialization; does not provide functions for spatial operations like distance calculation or overlays, requiring additional crates.
Heavily relies on integration with other Rust crates for advanced GIS features, which can complicate project setup and increase maintenance.
Error messages might be generic for complex invalid GeoJSON, as the library focuses on spec compliance rather than detailed validation feedback.
