About GeoJSON

GeoJSON is an open standard (RFC 7946) for representing points, lines, polygons, and feature collections as JSON. It is the lingua franca of web mapping — small, human-readable, and consumed by every major mapping library.

Typical producers: QGIS, mapshaper, turf.js, PostGIS, OGR/GDAL.
Typical consumers: MapLibre, Mapbox GL, Leaflet, OpenLayers, D3, Google Earth.

How to view a GeoJSON file

  1. Open the viewer.
  2. Drag your GeoJSON file (.geojson, .json) onto the page, or click the + in the Places panel.
  3. The file renders on a 3D MapLibre globe. Use the right-hand panel to toggle background layers (borders, labels, roads, buildings, transportation, places, terrain).
  4. Click features for details, or use the bottom toolbar to convert to another format.

GeoJSON viewer FAQ

Can I view a GeoJSON file in the browser without geojson.io or GitHub?

Yes — drop the .geojson onto rooot viewer to render it on a 3D MapLibre globe with toggleable layers and instant fly-to.

Does this support FeatureCollection, Feature, and bare Geometry types?

All three. rooot viewer normalises any valid GeoJSON root type into an internal FeatureCollection for rendering.

Can I view a GeoJSON with hundreds of thousands of features?

Yes, up to the 50 MB upload cap. For multi-million-feature datasets, convert to GeoPackage first — it indexes spatially and queries far faster.

Is rooot viewer free?

Yes. No account required. There are no per-conversion or per-view charges.

Does rooot viewer upload my files?

Files are parsed server-side for rendering but are not persisted unless you click Convert or Open in roooute. Persisted files are deleted within 24 hours.

Privacy

Files dropped on the main viewer are parsed server-side for rendering but are not persisted. Persistence happens only when you click Convert or Open in roooute; persisted files are deleted within 24 hours. Direct conversions through the per-format converter pages do not persist anything at all.
