Description
It woud be awesome to read/write from/to SHP and GeoJSON formats, so we can convert between SHP to GeoJSON, SHP to CSV, CSV to GeoJSON, CSV do SHP etc.
It's not that difficult: libraries such as fiona and shapely make the work easier - example from this post:
import csv
from shapely.geometry import Point, mapping
from fiona import collection
schema = { 'geometry': 'Point', 'properties': { 'name': 'str' } }
with collection(
"some.shp", "w", "ESRI Shapefile", schema) as output:
with open('some.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
for row in reader:
point = Point(float(row['lon']), float(row['lat']))
output.write({
'properties': {
'name': row['name']
},
'geometry': mapping(point)
})
