JSON to XYZ Conversion
Step-by-step instructions to help you transform JSON into XYZ with ease:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert JSON files to XYZ format.
Import JSON File
Click Open... to load your JSON file (.json, .cityjson), or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to XYZ Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the XYZ file format (.asc, .xyz).

CityJSON File
A modern, JSON based (JavaScript Object Notation) file format designed for storing 3D city models. It efficiently represents buildings, roads, bridges, and other urban features with support for textures, semantics, and metadata.
Key Features of CityJSON
- JSON-Based: Lightweight, human-readable, and easy to parse (no complex XML like CityGML).
- Semantic Richness: Preserves object attributes (e.g., building heights, roof types, road classifications).
- LOD Support: Stores multiple Levels of Detail (LOD1 - LOD4) for flexible use cases.
- Web-Ready: Works seamlessly with JavaScript, APIs, and 3D web viewers (like Cesium or Three.js).
- Open Standard: Developed and maintained by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University).
- Format Alert: CityJSON and GeoJSON both use the .json extension - always verify the data structure before processing.
CityJSON File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application let you import, export, and convert CityJSON files to formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, and 3DS while preserving semantic data and geometries. Easily integrate 3D city models into your workflows - try our CityJSON converters today!
Point Cloud File
A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.
Key Features of XYZ
- Data Structure: Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).
- Minimalism: No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.
- No Topology: Pure vertex data without mesh connections.
- Industry Use: Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.
XYZ File Conversion
Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.
