GEOJSON SUMMARY FORMAT


DESCRIPTION

GeoJSON is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. A
GeoJSON object may represent a geometry, a feature, or a collection of features.
GeoJSON uses the JSON standard. The GeoJSONP feed uses the same JSON response,
but the GeoJSONP response is wrapped inside the function call, eqfeed_callback.
See the GeoJSON site for more information.

This feed adheres to the USGS Earthquakes Feed Life Cycle Policy.


USAGE

GeoJSON is intended to be used as a programatic interface for applications.
