[postgis-users] FW: [OpenLayers-Users] GeoJSON

[Obe, Regina]

Thought this might be of interest to some people on this list.  I know
the topic of GeoJSON has come up in the past.

Thanks,
Regina

I think we're close to an agreed upon specification for GeoJSON.

You can take a look at WKT/GML/GeoJSON side by side (sort of) in this
demo

FeatureServer will deal in GeoJSON.  I'm guessing GeoServer will as 
well.  It would be cool to get MapServer in on it.
