add geojson output format #45

Closed rochaporto closed 9 years ago

Something looking like: https://storage.googleapis.com/maps-devrel/google.json

This should make it easy to have google maps data layers such as: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-data-dynamic?hl=en-en

Full documentation of the data layer is here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/datalayer?hl=en-en

For reference, another option to achieve something similar would be to rely on google maps engine: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/mapsenginelayers?hl=en-en

but it would tie the visualization to a specific backend for data retrieval. Having generated geojson and a caching layer should achieve the same goal. In the future we could add the maps engine layer with the same data anyway though.
