Image to SVG to GeoJSON Converters
Often times, you find the data that you need in a format that you don’t want. Perhaps, you are looking for GeoJSON but the data is in a ShapeFile, or you need an SVG format but you can only find a bitmap image. Maybe you need to convert an SVG to JSON, or CSV to TSV, or something else. Either way, converters are really useful to convert the same data to a format that integrates with your application and I wanted to start a collection of different kinds of great data converters that I have found online. Recently, I have even wrote my own converter and some of that work has inspired this post.
