geo2dict replacement function

[NiharikaPatel]

Hello,

The older version of the package had a geo2dict function to convert the continents json into a dictionary.
What is the alternative way to doing that with the new updates to the package ?

GeoJSON.read(read(joinpath(@__DIR__,"..","data","continents","continents.json")))
 conts = geo2dict(continents)
 coords = conts["features"][id]["geometry"]["coordinates"]

Thanks

It's always better to include a link to the file you are using so we can demonstrate the fix on your own data (please post if you can)

But maybe you can just do conts[i].geometry.coordinates in your case.

Maybe also explain why you need this as a Dict? Just to make it easier to explore?

Closing as stale. But if you really need it as a dict, just do JSON.read instead of GeoJSON.read. The way StructTypes/GeoJSON work means that the dict ideally never exists, text gets parsed straight to the underlying julia structs.
