Format for outputted data #43

Open maneesha opened 4 years ago

maneesha commented 4 years ago

Does it matter if data is outputted as csv or json for two-dimensional data?

fmichonneau commented 4 years ago

I'd like to keep everything as JSON to avoid having to have 2 files formats as CSV won't support non-rectangular data. Do you have a good use case for CSV?

maneesha commented 4 years ago

I was asking only about two-dimensional data. I think for people who are not familiar with working with various data formats, csv data is more accessible than json data. If it makes more sense to have all data is the same format, I can put everything in json format.

Yes, at least for now, I'd like to keep all the data feeds in the JSON format (GeoJSON is a type of JSON).
