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

Starting with GDAL 2.3, the URL/filename/text might be prefixed with TopoJSON: to avoid any ambiguity with other drivers.
