Converts a PROJJSON CRS string into a WKT CRS string (WKT1 or WKT2:2019 variants supported). Warning: while the export to WKT1 should be syntaxically correct, datum, projection method or parameter names will be the one of WKT2, and thus a number of implementations will in practice fail to understand such WKT1 strings.
This library is a single file with no dependency, that could be easily ported to other languages. The following languages are available:
- Python (this repository)
- JavaScript
Currently supported object types are: GeodeticCRS, GeographicCRS, ProjectedCRS, VerticalCRS, CompoundCRS, DerivedGeodeticCRS and DerivedGeographicCRS.
