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

Usage ↩

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

Arguments ↩

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", and "svg" ("csv" only with --max-length, for truncation)

Geoconvert Options ↩

Option	Type	Description	Default
‑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	integer	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.

Common Options ↩

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