Steps for converting SHX to GEOJSON in C#

Conversion can be done with just one line of code while using VectorLayer.Convert method. It takes 4 parameters as detailed below.

  1. A string type file path to the source SHX file
  2. Source driver to let the API know about the input format. Set it to Drivers.Shapefile
  3. The string type file path to the destination GEOJSON data file
  4. Destination driver to specify output format. Set it to Drivers.GeoJson

    GEOJSON What is GEOJSON File Format?

    GeoJSON is a JSON based format designed to represent the geographical features with their non-spatial attributes. This format defines different JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects and their joining fashion. JSON format represents a collective information about the Geographical features, their spatial extents, and properties. An object of this file may indicate a geometry (Point, LineString, Polygon), a feature or collection of features. The features reflect addresses and places as point’s streets, main roads and borders as line strings and countries, provinces, and land regions as polygons. Using the GeoJSON, different mobile routing and navigation applications can indicate the coverage of their services. An extension of GeoJSON is TopoJSON that is smaller in size and encodes geospatial topology. Read More
