# GeoJSON Validator

**Validate GeoJSON and automatically fix invalid geometries**. Like *geojsonhint*, but with geometry checks & fixes!

- 🔴 **Detects invalid geometries** & 🟢 **fixes them** : *Unclosed, wrong winding order etc.*
- 🟨 **Problematic** geometries (for many tools & APIs): *Self-intersection, crossing anti-meridian etc.*
- Checks 🧬 **structure** according to GeoJSON specification
- Use **Website** or **Python package**

Also see the
[geojson-invalid-geometry](https://github.com/chrieke/geojson-invalid-geometry) list for detailed explanations of all possible GeoJSON issues.

### Quickstart Python

```bash
# Installation
pip install geojson-validator
```

Data input can be any type of GeoJSON object, a filepath/url, and anything with a `__geo_interface__` (shapely, geopandas etc.).

```python
import geojson_validator

geojson_input = {'type': 'FeatureCollection',
'features': [{'type': 'Feature', 'geometry':
{'type': 'Point', 'coordinates': [-59.758285, 8.367035]}}]}

geojson_validator.validate_structure(geojson_input)
geojson_validator.validate_geometries(geojson_input)
geojson_validator.fix_geometries(geojson_input)
```

### 1. Validate GeoJSON structure 🧬

Checks the structure & formatting of the GeoJSON, e.g. required elements, data & geometry types, coordinate array depth etc.

```python
geojson_validator.validate_structure(geojson_input, check_crs=False)
```

Returns the reasons why the input does not conform to the GeoJSON specification.
Also gives the line location and feature index to more quickly localize the issues.
Example: `{"Missing 'type' member": {"line": [4], "feature": [0]}`.

### 2. Validate geometries 🟥

Checks the GeoJSON geometry objects for inconsistencies and geometric issues. See
[geojson-invalid-geometry](https://github.com/chrieke/geojson-invalid-geometry) for a detailed description of all
invalid and problematic criteria. You can choose to validate only specific criteria, by default all are selected.

```python
# Invalid according to the GeoJSON specification
criteria_invalid = ["unclosed", "less_three_unique_nodes", "exterior_not_ccw",
"interior_not_cw", "inner_and_exterior_ring_intersect"]

# Problematic with some tools & APIs
criteria_problematic = ["holes", "self_intersection", "duplicate_nodes",
"excessive_coordinate_precision", "excessive_vertices",
"3d_coordinates", "outside_lat_lon_boundaries", "crosses_antimeridian"]

geojson_validator.validate_geometries(geojson, criteria_invalid, criteria_problematic)
```
Returns the reasons (example below) and positional indices of the invalid geometries, e.g. features `[0, 3]`. Also indicates if a
sub-geometry of a MultiType geometry make it invalid e.g. `{2:[0, 5]}`.

```
{"invalid":
{"unclosed": [0, 3],
"exterior_not_ccw": [{2:[0, 5]}],
"problematic":
{"crosses_antimeridian": [1]},
"count_geometry_types":
{"Polygon": 3,
"MultiPolygon": 1}}
```

### 3. Fix GeoJSON geometries 🟩

Automatically repairs some of the most common categories of invalid geometries.
Always fixes *["unclosed", "exterior_not_ccw", "interior_not_cw"]*.
Select additional, non-essential fixes with the parameter `optional`.
More fixes and helper-functions (for issues that require user descisions) **coming soon**!

```python
geojson_validator.fix_geometries(geojson_input, optional=["duplicate_nodes"])
```

The result is a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with the fixed geometries.

### FAQ:
- Why not use geojson-pydantic for the schema validation?
pydantic error messages a bit convulted (if one coordinate is missing error 4 times), very schema like, not custom, not easy to understand for no nprogrammers.
often would need to be translated.
- Too many logging messages, can I disable them? You can disable or configure the logging behavior via `geojson_validator.configure_logger(enabled=True, level="DEBUG")` which also returns the logger instance.
