I have an app that generates a track in geojson format and I would like to give the possibility to share the file using intent in Android, but in minetype specific application/json but of course that makes any app that can read json can be opened.
What I want is if there is a specific minetype for geojson ?
A little information about the GeoJSON format:
GeoJSON : This type of media is intended for GeoJSON applications that currently use media types "application / vnd.geo + json" or "application / json", of which there is several categories: web mapping, geospatial databases, API geographic data processing, data analysis and services storage and dissemination of data.
But currently using for files GeoJSON a MIME TYPE :
application/vnd.geo+json
is obsolete .
This is the statute:
The media type for GeoJSON text is "application / geo + json" and is registered in the "Media Types" record described in [RFC6838] . The entry for "application / vnd.geo + json" in it record must change its status to be "OBSOLETE" with a pointer to the media type "application / geo + json" and a reference added to this RFC.
therefore should be used :
application/geo+json
or
application/json
This is the current list defined by the IANA:
In the reference RFC7946 the mine-type for files is defined of geojson format,
can be defined with value application/json
or specifically application/vnd.geo+json
