GeoJSON to WKT Converter
Convert dynamic spatial JSON datasets into flat coordinate text.
Extract vector coordinates from GeoJSON files and translate them into standardized text-based WKT shapes. This is useful for importing geographic shapes directly into spatial databases like MS SQL or PostGIS.
Direct Target Stream Unavailable
This direct channel is planned for an upcoming release. In the meantime, consult the technical specifications and guidelines below.
Specification Rules
- Generate text queries to import spatial shapes into SQL databases
- Format spatial data for database schemas that store geography objects as text strings
- Export geometric structures for technical planning reports
- Drops coordinate attributes, outputting only raw text geometries
- Multi-part coordinates generate long text strings that are difficult to scan
- Web projections must translate accurately to coordinates
GDAL Direct Equivalent Terminal Command
sh console shell
$ogr2ogr -f CSV output.csv input.geojson -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT
Frequently Asked Queries
Why does the command export to a CSV file?
GDAL processes WKT mappings by outputting database streams or CSV rows containing text geometries.
Are complex geospatial shapes fully mapped?
Yes, boundaries and segments map precisely to standard geometric syntax representations.
Does this tool support 3D geographic coordinates?
Yes. Coordinates containing Z-axis values map to elevation fields in standard WKT structures.
