Converting to GeoJSON

To convert these file formats to GeoJSON, you typically need a library or tool that supports the specific formats. Below are some steps you can take for conversion:

1. Choose a Conversion Library or Tool:
   • Libraries like GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) can convert between several formats.
   • For Python, libraries like Fiona or Geopandas can read Shapefiles, KML, and other formats, and export to GeoJSON.
   • For JavaScript, you can use Mapbox or Turf.js that help with geospatial data manipulations.
2. Identify Required Input Files:
   • The mandatory files for conversion depend on which format you’re starting with. For example, to convert a Shapefile to GeoJSON, you'll need all its associated files (.shp, .shx, .dbf).
3. Perform the Conversion:
   • Load the input file into your chosen tool and export or save the result as a GeoJSON file.
4. Verify Output:
   • Always check the output GeoJSON for errors or lost data after conversion.
