GeoJSON is a collaborative project to to determine what, if any, geographic content can be encoded in JSON.

== GeoJSON Encodings ==

* [[GeoJSON_Context|GeoJSON Web Map Context]], derived from [http://www.opengeospatial.org OGC] [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wmc Web Map Context]
* [[GeoJSON_Features|GeoJSON Features]], derived from Atom [http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-14.txt]

== Other GeoJSON Encoding Candidates ==

* OGC [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wfs Web Feature Service (WFS)], with an emphasis on [http://www.ogcnetwork.net/wfssimple WFS Simple]
* Proposal of a WFS encoding. It currently describes the GetFeature input/output, the DescribeFeatureType output.The Openoffice format:[[Media:jsonwfsspec.odt]] The Word format:[[Media:jsonwfsspec.doc]].
