GeoJSON Text Sequences
Overview
RFC 8142, “GeoJSON Text Sequences”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2017 by S. Gillies. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the GeoJSON text sequence format and "application/geo+json-seq" media type. This format is based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text sequences and GeoJSON, and it makes arbitrarily large geographic datasets incrementally parseable without restricting the form of GeoJSON texts within a sequence.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
