wellknown - convert WKT to GeoJSON and vice versa.

Inspiration partly comes from Python’s geomet/geomet - and the name from Javascript’s wellknown (it’s a good name).

Different interfaces

WKT from R stuctures

There’s a family of functions that make it easy to go from familiar R objects like lists and data.frames to WKT, including:

The above currently accept (depending on the fxn) numeric, list, and data.frame (and character for special case of EMPTY WKT objects).

Geojson to WKT and vice versa

geojson2wkt() and wkt2geojson() cover a subset of the various formats available:

Geojson to WKT

geojson2wkt() converts any geojson as a list to a WKT string (the same format )

WKT to Geojson

wkt2geojson() converts any WKT string into geojson as a list. This list format for geojson can be used downstream e.g., in the leaflet package.

WKT to WKB, and vice versa

wkt_wkb() converts WKT to WKB, while wkb_wkt() converts WKB to WKT

Convert json or character objects

You can convert directly from an object of class json, which is output from jsonlite::toJSON().

library("jsonlite")
(json <- toJSON(list(Point = c(-105, 39)), auto_unbox = TRUE))
#> {"Point":[-105,39]}
geojson2wkt(json)
#> [1] "POINT (-105   39)"

And you can convert from a geojson character string:

str <- '{"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[0,0,10],[2,1,20],[4,2,30],[5,4,40]]}'
geojson2wkt(str)
#> [1] "LINESTRING Z(0 0 10, 2 1 20, 4 2 30, 5 4 40)"
