geojson-faker is a tool for generating fake geodata in GeoJSON format.
What problem does the library solve
If your product is related to geodata, then there is often a need to generate a large amount of this data. For example, in order to run tests or prepare a demonstration of the project. This is the problem that geojson-faker
solves. With it, you can easily generate data of any size.
GeoJSON
GeoJSON is a format for encoding data about geographic features using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It's in this format that geojson-faker
generates data, making it easy to embed the library into your services.
Examples of use
Here's a simple example of how to use the library:
>>> from geojson_faker import GeoJsonFaker
>>> geojson_faker = GeoJsonFaker()
>>> # Point2D or Point3D
>>> geojson_faker.point
Point(bbox=None, type='Point', coordinates=Position2D(longitude=-50.56703965217093, latitude=19.72513434718111))
>>> geojson_faker.point
Point(bbox=None, type='Point', coordinates=Position3D(longitude=111.84911865610678, latitude=-19.488979926988165, altitude=7921.968274391678))
>>> # Point2D
>>> geojson_faker.point2d
Point(bbox=None, type='Point', coordinates=Position2D(longitude=29.98434638920918, latitude=36.476444735501616))
>>> # Point3D
>>> geojson_faker.point3d
Point(bbox=None, type='Point', coordinates=Position3D(longitude=-76.36126084558762, latitude=30.682266859380533, altitude=15816.987234147065))

Project plans
Support for basic geodata, namely Position
, Point
, MultiPoint
, LineString
, MultiLineString
, Polygon
, MultiPolygon
, GeometryCollection
has already been implemented. Feature
and FeatureCollection
will soon be added, as well as the generation of realistic data such as countries, cities, famous places, etc.
