Quite interesting project as you are developing for command line also.

Here is the similar work I did geojson2svg, may be of interest to you.

@gagan-bansal thanks a lot! I saw your project, it's a good one! I am aiming here to produce something that would be able to do the following:

work with non-cartographical data (geometries and schematics), with an option to apply arbitrary projection
work with comprehensible styling, including path decorators, svg markers, ans svg symbols
would be able to work on Node with required font data

@gagan-bansal by styling I mean something Leaflet-compitable that would allow you to provide styling in a separate file but also on top of it in feature properties.

gagan-bansal commented 8 years ago

Yes most interesting feature I see in your project is converting geojson to SVG at back-end itself with style. So that now the output SVG can be used easily as Image or with minimal programming by front end developer.

Exactly, and at a great speed, cause it's plain text renderer, which can also be quite useful on the client-side

also I didn't want to use d3 for simple SVG rendering,

d3 !== SVG

Wish you all the best for this project. Gagan
