geojson2pgsql

When ogr2ogr isn't enough. Imports GeoJSON into PostgreSQL, using an auto-incrementing id, features' id as geojson_id, their geometry as a PostGIS geometry (geometry), and their properties as a JSONB column.

Requires PostgreSQL 9.2 for JSON storage, 9.3 for meaningful query functionality.

Usage

As a CLI

Import data.json into a data table and display keys present in properties. NOTE: this will do a drop table.

createdb json-test
psql -d json-test -c "create extension postgis"
DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/json-test geojson2pgsql data.json data
psql -d json-test -c "select json_object_keys(properties) from data"

As a library

var lib = require("./lib");
lib.addTable("tableName", data, function(err) { /// this will do a "drop table if exists"
  if (!err) {
    lib.addData(data, "tableName");
  }
});
