JSON Encoding for SRS WKT #51

Open hobu opened 6 years ago

hobu commented 6 years ago

SRS WKT is very inconvenient to use in JSON-based service systems, and a JSON-friendly encoding would be very helpful. A JSON encoding of WKT that did not change the grammar would be very convenient for JSON-based web services instead of the hellish quote escaping and string-only treatment that must be used now to transit WKT-defined coordinate systems.
