geojson-pydantic
Pydantic data models for the GeoJSON spec.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive MIT licensing, no security vulnerabilities, and fills a clear need for GeoJSON validation in Python. It's a straightforward choice if you're working with geographic data and want Pydantic's validation guarantees.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

point = Point(coordinates=[1.0, 2.0])
print(point.model_dump_json())What it is and what it does
geojson-pydantic wraps the GeoJSON specification (RFC 7946) as a set of Pydantic models, letting you validate, parse, and serialize geographic data structures with type safety. It depends only on pydantic and works with Python 3.9 through 3.14, making it straightforward to integrate into data pipelines that need to handle GeoJSON.
The package is actively maintained, supports current Python versions, and has no known vulnerabilities. It's used for creating or validating GeoJSON objects—Points, LineStrings, Polygons, Features, and FeatureCollections—ensuring data conforms to the RFC 7946 standard before processing or storage.
Use it for
- Validate incoming GeoJSON from APIs or files before storing in a geospatial database.
- Build type-safe geographic data structures in Python applications using Pydantic's validation framework.
- Serialize Python geographic objects to RFC 7946-compliant GeoJSON for REST APIs or client applications.
- Parse and transform GeoJSON from external sources with automatic type checking and error reporting.
- Integrate geospatial data validation into FastAPI or other Pydantic-based web services.
