Data file
What is a .geojson file?
A .geojson file is a GeoJSON. This is a data file — structured information used by a program rather than read directly.
How to open a .geojson file
- Start with the program that produced it; that's almost always the right tool.
- Open it in a text editor to see whether it's readable text or binary.
- For database formats, DB Browser for SQLite or LibreOffice Base can often import it.
The registry records this extension against GeoJSON, so software from that family is the most likely match.
How to convert a .geojson file
- If you can view the data, exporting to .csv is usually the most portable option.
MIME type
When a .geojson file travels over the web, servers label it with this MIME type:
application/geo+jsonThe technical record
For archivists, developers and the merely curious: these are the PRONOM registry entries for .geojson.
