[mapserver-users] OGR/GeoJSON WRITE_BBOX

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

Perhaps it is your GDAL version that does not write the BBOX for the collection? This gets GML from Mapserver WFS and converts it into geojson

ogr2ogr -f geojson test_ms.json -lco WRITE_BBOX=YES "http://hip.latuviitta.org/cgi-bin/mapserver_wfs?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=getfeature&typename=municipalities&maxfeatures=10"

Result begins

{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3067" } },
"bbox": [ 349631.3148, 7066945.4181, 673079.7106, 7776424.2258 ],
"features": [

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&version=1.0.0&request=getfeature&typename=og:archsites&outputformat=application/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
