Mastering Geospatial Analysis with Python

Creating polygon geometry from GeoJSON

You can also create a geometry by passing in GeoJSON to OGR, which saves space compared to the first example:

In: from osgeo import ogr    geojson = """{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[1,1],[5,1],    [5,5],[1,5], [1,1]]]}"""    polygon = ogr.CreateGeometryFromJson(geojson)    print(polygon)  Out: POLYGON ((1 1,5 1,5 5,1 5,1 1))
