[pgrouting-users] Newbee-question, I hope it is OK.

[Henrik Aagaard Sørensen]

I've just discovered pgRouting and it does look quite interesting.

I'm currently running our Open Data portal at our municipality. It's based upon CKAN.org, but are running PostgreSQL 9.3 and PostGIS 2.1.
This allows the API for CKAN to receive queries with PostGIS functionality in, and return advanced results.

I've installed pgRouting and added the pgrouting extension to my database, which serves the API with data.

I've got a dataset containing GeoJSON-data with our streets in the city.

Is it possible to use this dataset with pgRouting and calculate a simple shortest path from point X1 and Y1 (long and lat) to another point X2 and Y2 (long and lat) via a SQL query?

I hope such a question is OK, otherwise I apologize. I've tried to look at the tutorials/workshops around pgRouting, but cannot find any information on using GeoJSON (or similar format) as input etc...
