geobuf {geojson}

Geobuf serialization

Description

Geobuf serialization

Usage

from_geobuf(x, pretty = FALSE)

to_geobuf(x, file = NULL, decimals = 6)

Arguments

x

(character) a file or raw object for from_geobuf, and json string for to_geobuf

pretty

(logical) pretty print JSON. Default: FALSE

file

(character) file to write protobuf to. if NULL, geobuf raw binary returned

decimals

(integer) how many decimals (digits behind the dot) to store for numbers

Details

from_geobuf uses protolite::geobuf2json(), while to_geobuf uses protolite::json2geobuf()

Note that protolite expects either a Feature, FeatureCollection, or Geometry class geojson object, Thus, for to_geobuf we check the geojson class, and convert to a Feature if the class is something other than the acceptable set.

Value

for from_geobuf JSON as a character string, and for to_geobuf raw or file written to disk

Examples

file <- system.file("examples/test.pb", package = "geojson")
(json <- from_geobuf(file))
from_geobuf(file, pretty = TRUE)
pb <- to_geobuf(json)
f <- tempfile(fileext = ".pb")
to_geobuf(json, f)
from_geobuf(f)

object.size(json)
object.size(pb)
file.info(file)$size
file.info(f)$size

file <- system.file("examples/featurecollection1.geojson",
  package = "geojson")
json <- paste0(readLines(file), collapse = "")
to_geobuf(json)

# other geojson class objects
x <- '{ "type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
  [ [100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0], [100.0, 1.0], [100.0, 0.0] ]
  ]
}'
(y <- polygon(x))
to_geobuf(y)

x <- '{"type": "MultiPoint", "coordinates": [ [100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0] ] }'
(y <- multipoint(x))
to_geobuf(y)
