[OpenLayers-Dev] saving a vector file permanently

[David Zwarg]

Hello Mohammed,

Look at the OpenLayers.Format classes.

Here's a link to the geojson format example:
http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Format/GeoJSON-js.html

You will probably do something like:

var format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();

// given that 'layer' is a vector layer attached to the map with some
features:
var jsonstring = format.write( layer.features );

// given that 'txtarea' is an HTML textarea element somewhere in your page
to display the geojson:
txtarea.value = jsonstring;

There's no way to save the file directly via openlayers (opening a "Save
File..." dialog), you have to do some copy & pasting from the browser.
