[gdal-dev] GeoJSON 1.0 Release

[Christopher Schmidt]

Thought this might be interesting, for those of you using OGR: OGR has
had pretty good GeoJSON support for quite a while now, and although the
1.0 spec doesn't change a whole lot, this is the 'final' 1.0 release from
the GeoJSON community, which seems interesting.

The GeoJSON Authors are proud to announce the finalization of the
GeoJSON 1.0 Specification.

Representing more than a year's worth of community discussion and
development, the GeoJSON specification describes an easy to use,
extensible format for transferring geographic data over the web. With
support in more than 20 different applications, GeoJSON is already
quickly becoming a de facto standard for transferring geographic data in
a JSON format. The finalization of the spec represents the final step in
formalizing the GeoJSON format for encoding this data.

More information on GeoJSON can be found at http://geojson.org/ , or
