Datasource

The driver accepts three types of sources of data:

  • Uniform Resource Locator (URL) - a Web address to perform HTTP request.

  • Plain text file with TopoJSON data - identified from the file extension .json or .topojson

  • Text passed directly and encoded in Topo JSON

The URL/filename/text might be prefixed with TopoJSON: to avoid any ambiguity with other drivers. Alternatively, starting with GDAL 3.10, specifying the -if TopoJSON option to command line utilities accepting it, or TopoJSON as the only value of the papszAllowedDrivers of GDALOpenEx(), also forces the driver to recognize the passed URL/filename/text.
