Unfolded Map 🗺️ Notebook 📓 Renderer for VSCode

See Geo Data Viewer 🗺️ vscode extension for advanced Geo Data Analytics with kepler.gl

Unfolded Map 🗺️ Renderer

Unfolded Map 🗺️ Notebook 📓 Renderer uses Unfolded Map SDK JavaScript library for interactive preview of Geo datasets loaded in VSCode Notebooks 📚

Features

• View Location data from CSV, XML, JSON, and GeoJSON Notebook 📓 cell ⌗ data output on the Unfolded Studio map 🗺️
• View JSON, CSV, and XML data without Geo Location information in JSON format in a scrollable text container with code pre-wrap for a quick copy/paste to other places:

Supported Data Formats

Unfolded Map 🗺️ Notebook 📓 Renderer supports loading Location data from the following output formats:

Data Mime Type	Location Data	Geo Location Processing Description
application/geo+json	Point	GeoJSON Location Point coordinates are displayed using Unfolded Map 🗺️ SDK JavaScript library. See our unfoldedMap.js for more info about that setup.
application/json	Objects that contain geo location property pairs ending with: latitude/longitude, lat/lng, or lat/lng	Flat JSON data objects and arrays are processed by our custom GeoConverter to extract Location information and covert loaded dataset to GeoJSON for display on the map.
text/csv	CSV data with column names in the 1st header row and columns ending with: latitude/longitude, lat/lng, or lat/lng	CSV data is parsed with d3-dsv JavaScript library and converted to flat JSON data array and then to GeoJSON with our GeoConverter to display locations on the map.
application/xml or text/xml	XML data with root node children that contain attributes ending with: latitude/longitude, lat/lng, or lat/lng	XML data is parsed with fast-xml-parser to load it into JSON data objects array and then processed with our GeoConverter to display locations on the map. XML data support is very alpha and experimental at this point, and might be removed later.
application/vnd.code.notebook.stdout or text/plain	Location data as string in CSV, XML, JSON or GeoJSON data format as described above	Text data typically comes from display and console.log() instructions in vscode notebooks. We try to parse text as JSON with JSON.parse(), as CSV with d3-dsv.csvParse(), and as XML with fast-xml-parser. If those parse methods fail, or provided notebook cell text output contains no location data we can extract, we display text output in a custom scrollable text container with code pre-wrap for a quick copy/paste to other places. Otherwise, loaded data is converted to GeoJSON with our GeoConverter for locations display on the map.
