I have a small script that I'm using to generate GeoJSON data from a data format not currently supported by GIS software.

I would like to validate the output, but when I use ogr2ogr to read it, it doesn't give me any helpful information about what aspects, lines, or characters contained invalid data.

Is there a decent GeoJSON validator somewhere, or a good method of validating GeoJSON data with OGR?

EDIT: I am not looking for JSON validators or the GeoJSON spec. I've seen and used both to get to this point, but OGR still returns an error.

Thanks!

I have explained it before in this post

it is all about types of spelling what differences with json and geojson. you can add more definition if you want. i dont think it is so important for not taking part in json spec for geojson...there is no limit for json object, only important thing is your json have to be valid for correct usage.

you can check your geojson file whether valid or not from JSONLint which is a JSON Validator...

and you can check geojson spec form here

i hope it helps you.

The GeoJSON spec is at geojson.org - you linked to GeoJSON CSS, an unofficial extension. – tmcw Sep 17 '12 at 0:14
