Understanding Geocoding and GeoJSON
Turn physical addresses into standardized geographic data points for mapping applications.
Geocoding is the process of converting a human-readable address (like '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA') into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude). These coordinates can then be used to place markers on a map or perform spatial analysis. GeoJSON is a standard format based on JSON for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. A 'Feature' in GeoJSON represents a spatially bounded thing and typically includes a 'geometry' object (like a 'Point' with coordinates) and a 'properties' object for additional metadata. An Address-to-GeoJSON converter utilizes a geocoding service to find the coordinates for an address and then wraps the result in a standard GeoJSON Feature object. This makes the data immediately usable in many mapping libraries and GIS tools like Leaflet, Mapbox, or Google Maps API.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GeoJSON?
GeoJSON is a standardized format for encoding various geographic data structures using JSON. It's commonly used for representing points, lines, and polygons, along with their associated properties, making it ideal for web mapping and spatial applications.
What is geocoding?
Geocoding is the process of converting a human-readable address (like "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This allows you to pinpoint locations on a map or perform location-based analysis.
Is this tool suitable for bulk geocoding?
This online tool is designed for single address conversions. For bulk geocoding of many addresses, you would typically use a geocoding API service that can process large datasets programmatically.
