The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The GeoJSON Format' (draft-ietf-geojson-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Geographic JSON Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alexey Melnikov, Ben Campbell and Alissa Cooper. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-geojson/ Technical Summary GeoJSON is a geospatial data interchange format based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Working Group Summary The working group had good discussion around the changes made to this version over the version that was widely deployed. There was good consensus for the changes made (these are summarized in Appendix B). Document Quality GeoJSON is widely implemented and used already. The changes made by the working group are largely formal in nature, though this includes a new media type (the "vnd." prefix has been dropped). The media type change has been proposed and reviewed, see https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/media-types/hUlxdmrz6nid3er1XXK86cgxIkA Considerable debate was had over the inclusion of the "crs" member. The working group has consensus around the text in -03. Personnel Martin Thomson is the document shepherd. Alissa Cooper is the responsible AD.
