Description

Read topojson from a local file or a URL

Usage

topojson_read(x, ...)

x

Path to a local file or a URL.

Further args passed on to sf::st_read(). Can use any args from sf::st_read() except quiet, which we have set as quiet = TRUE internally already

Details

Returns a sf class, but you can easily and quickly get this to geojson, see examples.

Note that this does not give you Topojson, but gives you a sf class - which you can use then to turn it into geojson as a list or json
