[mapserver-users] OGR/GeoJSON WRITE_BBOX

[Tom]

Thanks, Jukka.  I see that Geoserver is including the FeatureCollection
bbox, but my GeoJSON from Mapserver is not.  If I take the json from my WFS
call and run it through ogr2ogr as you suggested, the output is an exact
copy of the original.  I still get bbox for the individual features, but not
the feature collection.  I tried GDAL 1.9 and 2.0-dev.  Perhaps there is
something missing from my layer configuration, or could it be that Geoserver
has this capability but Mapserver does not?

Hi,

About how to test if it is an OGR issue, make a test with OGR. Capture some
data for example from some Geoserver WFS and convert it into geojson with
ogr2ogr

ogr2ogr -f geojson test.json -lco WRITE_BBOX=YES
"http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?service=wfs
<http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=get
feature&typename=og:archsites&outputformat=application/json>
&version=1.0.0&request=getfeature&typename=og:archsites&outputformat=applica
tion/json"

See the beginning of the result

{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name":
"urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::26713" } },
"bbox": [ 589860.0, 4914479.0, 608355.0, 4926490.0 ],
"features": [

Conclusion: ogr2ogr can do it. My version is GDAL 2.0-dev.

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying to use OGR to output GeoJSON from my WFS service.  I'd like to
include the BBOX (equivalent of gml:boundedBy) at the FeatureCollection
level.  From the documentation, it looks like I should be able to set it up
this way:

 

OUTPUTFORMAT

                  NAME "GEOJSON"

                  DRIVER "OGR/GeoJSON"

                  MIMETYPE "application/json; subtype=geojson"

                  FORMATOPTION "STORAGE=memory"

                  FORMATOPTION "FORM=SIMPLE"

                FORMATOPTION "LCO:WRITE_BBOX=YES"

END

 

According to http://www.gdal.org/drv_geojson.html, WRITE_BBOX is exactly
what I need.  According to the docs, it should create a bbox at the
FeatureCollection and the Feature level.  For me, it generates a bbox for
every feature, but not one for the top-level FeatureCollection, which OGR
claims to support.

 

Does anyone have experience with this?  Any idea how I could determine if
this would be a Mapserver issue, or an OGR issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom
