All geographic coordinates are stored in theWKT format.

In WKT, the pairs of coordinates are always written asx y.

Such tuples, potentially along with other tuples, are then wrapped by one of 18 geometric objects, e.g.POINT,MULTILINESTRING orMULTIPOLYGON.

The most basic example would bePOINT(x y).

Accordingly, the order of latitude and longitude in those tuples is alwayslong lat, as inPOINT(long lat).

The single authoritative source for all data is inSource/json.

If you want to make any changes, please apply them in that folder only.

All other data files are generated from the files in that authoritative set.

All contributions are welcome! If you wish to contribute, please create an issue first so that your feature, problem or question can be discussed.
