[ckan-dev] examples of GeoJson field data

Tue Jan 8 11:32:28 UTC 2013

Hi Pascal,

The GeoJSON string field should be quoted and to be a valid json, the
object representation should have double quotes. The problem is that
the current Recline parser won't recognise the following (which is an
issue IMO):

name,geom
Test, "{\"type\":\"Point\",\"coordinates\":[-1.1207,45.4874]}"

The only way I got it working is using single quotes on the field, and
telling recline so when loading the dataset (You can test it in
http://explorer.datahub.io, which allows you to specify the text
delimiter)

name,geom
Test, '{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.1207,45.4874]}'

Unfortunately, the current CKAN integration with Recline does not
allow defining advanced options like the text delimiter, so I'm afraid
there isn't an easy fix around this.

Perhaps Rufus has another approach that could work?
