Overview
geojson-extent computes the bounding extent of a GeoJSON object. The main function returns bounds in west, south, east, north order, and invalid input returns null. Related helpers return the bounds as a GeoJSON polygon or add bounding boxes to the object. It also ships a command line tool that reads GeoJSON from stdin and prints the extent, with an option for Leaflet format. It is often used to frame a map or static map image around data.
Key features
- extent() returns bounds as [west, south, east, north]
- extent.polygon() returns the bounds as a GeoJSON polygon
- extent.bboxify() adds bounding boxes to GeoJSON
- Command line tool reads GeoJSON from stdin
Best for
Developers who need to zoom a map or build a static map image to fit their GeoJSON data.
