Difference between GeoJSON and TopoJSON
What is the difference between GeoJSON and TopoJSON and when would I use one over the other? The description of TopoJSON on GitHub implies the TopoJSON files are 80% smaller. So why not just use TopoJSON all the time? mbostock If you care about file size or topology, then use TopoJSON. If you don’t care about either, then use GeoJSON for simplicity’s sake. The primary advantage of TopoJSON is size. By eliminating redundancy and using a more efficent fixed-precision integer encoding of coordinates, TopoJSON files are often an order of magnitude smaller than GeoJSON files. The secondary
