Description ↩

Convert between various spatial formats and CSV/SVG including GeoJSON, SHP, and more.

For example to convert a GeoJSON file into CSV data:

$ qsv geoconvert file.geojson geojson csv

To use stdin as input instead of a file path, use a dash "-":

$ qsv prompt -m "Choose a GeoJSON file" -F geojson | qsv geoconvert - geojson csv

To convert a CSV file into GeoJSON data, specify the WKT geometry column with the --geometry flag:

$ qsv geoconvert file.csv csv geojson --geometry geometry

Alternatively specify the latitude and longitude columns with the --latitude and --longitude flags:

$ qsv geoconvert file.csv csv geojson --latitude lat --longitude lon

qsv geoconvert [options] (<input>) (<input-format>) (<output-format>)
qsv geoconvert --help

Argument	Description
`<input>`	The spatial file to convert. To use stdin instead, use a dash "-". Note: SHP input must be a path to a .shp file and cannot use stdin.
`<input-format>`	Valid values are "geojson", "shp", and "csv"
`<output-format>`	Valid values are: For GeoJSON input: "csv", "svg", and "geojsonl" For SHP input: "csv", "geojson", and "geojsonl" For CSV input: "geojson", "geojsonl", "csv", and "svg"

Option	Type	Description
`‑g,` `‑‑geometry`	string	The name of the column that has WKT geometry. Alternative to --latitude and --longitude.
`‑y,` `‑‑latitude`	string	The name of the column with northing values.
`‑x,` `‑‑longitude`	string	The name of the column with easting values.
`‑l,` `‑‑max‑length`	string	The maximum column length when the output format is CSV. Oftentimes, the geometry column is too long to fit in a CSV file, causing other tools like Python & PostgreSQL to fail. If a column is too long, it will be truncated to the specified length and an ellipsis ("...") will be appended.

Option	Type	Description	Default
`‑h,` `‑‑help`	flag	Display this message
`‑o,` `‑‑output`	string	Write output to instead of stdout.
