Hi there,

I'm struggling to build a proper GeoJSON file. Attached please find the source XML file which I'm trying to convert. These are all points and I would like to have the different fields as properties.

I tried to aggregate the separate "latitude" and "longitude" attributes into a single "Coordinates" attribute by means of the AttributeManager but that didn't do the job. My "Coordinates" are always read as a feature property and not as a feature geometry. GeoJSON has a specific format ( see https://geojson.org/ ) and I don't know how to construct it with FME.

 

Of course, I'm using the XML Reader (Parameter set to: modu/moduEntity) and GeoJSON Writer.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance already.

Use the XML Reader and make sure to select every XML datafield under Parameters which are of interest for the final output. This will basically create a Reader for every data XML datafield. Then, use the VertexCreator to create a point out of the XML data. Feed x and y coodrinates with longitude and latitudes from the Reader inputs. Other inputs will become properties of the Point. The workbench should look this this then:
