[PROJ] Alternative PROJJSON implementations?

[Sean Gillies]

Howard,

Rasterio's command line programs accept PROJ4 style JSON objects like
{"proj": "longlat", "datum": "WGS84", ...}. This goes back to 2014. It's
literally the old PROJ4 key/value encoding, but as JSON. Nothing more.

Rasterio has accepted PROJJSON since 2021.

Yours,
