City Lots San Francisco in .json

I needed a really big .json file for testing various code.

The CityLots spatial data layer is a representation of the City and County of San Francisco's Subdivision parcels. The initial file is in the .shp (shapefile) format and as the conversion process is quite cumbersome I uploaded the data as a .json file.

Warning: size is 189,9 MB.

Default data

The initial file can be downloaded from San Francisco Data.

Converting .shp to .json

download the .zip file from San Francisco Data
install gdal
help for installing on a mac can be found here and here
install shp2json via npm install shp2json -g
run $ shp2json citylots.zip citylots.json from the command line
