Use this pattern when your map data is too heavy to load comfortably in the browser, share with others, or import into a visualization tool.
Solution
Simplify geometry while preserving shape, and remove attributes you do not need. A tool that also handles conversion and merging helps keep the whole preprocessing flow in one place.
Tool
Good fit for
- Making GeoJSON faster to render
- Preparing smaller map files for sharing
- Cleaning attributes while simplifying geometry
