I'm working with a shapefile (.shp, .dbf, etc) and would like to convert it to xml. I'm on a mac, and I'm having trouble finding an application that will help me with the conversion. Does anyone know of a method for converting this file format into an xml file?
Using this web site, in the “Convert to GeoJSON” section, under “File*:” Browse to and choose your file. Then select “Convert to GeoJSON”. This will generate GeoJSON code and display in a new window (Example 2).
shp. xml : the file that is the geospatial metadata in XML format, (e.g. ISO 19115 or XML format).
Just drag the Shapefile files, one click on button and convert to GeoJSON. There are many website which provides the tool to convert the files by browsing them to server side and convert and also some client side conversion too.
What dassouki said. Get GDAL from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks. Use it to convert a shapefile to GeoJSON like this:
$ ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" output.json input.shp
eg
$ ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" /tmp/world.json world_borders.shp world_borders $ cat /tmp/world.json { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "CAT": 1.000000, "FIPS_CNTRY": "AA", "CNTRY_NAME": "Aruba", "AREA": 193.000000, "POP_CNTRY": 71218.000000 }, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ -69.882233, ... ...
