JSON to XYZ: Resources
Provided below is a curated list of supplementary resources focusing on the interoperability and exchange between JSON and XYZ files. Leverage these to streamline the JSON to XYZ files conversion.
CityJSON File
JSON (CityJSON) is an optimized version of the CityGML OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) file format, designed for the efficient storage and exchange of 3D city models and landscapes. The CityJSON file format supports city object names, nested hierarchy, reusable geometry component instances, and custom materials with texture images. Our Autoconverter JSON file converter facilitates seamless reading and writing of CityJSON JSON geometries with custom attributes. It also allows for smooth conversion between other common 3D mesh file formats.
Point Cloud XYZ File
The XYZ (Point cloud data) file extension is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB. Optionally, the XYZ file may also include 3D normal vector coordinates for each point. Our primary XYZ file converter, Autoconverter software, can automatically reconstruct mesh surfaces from point cloud data. Additionally, Autoshaper software, another one of our XYZ file converters, allows for the reconstruction of smooth NURBS surfaces from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. It’s worth noting that point cloud data may also use alternative file extensions such as ASC or TXT.
