visionscarto-world-atlas

Natural Earth vector data, modified & simplified

A modification of topojson/world-atlas 110m and 50m files, with various modifications intended for Visionscarto:
- fixes topology issues (border of Sudan; North Korea…)
- adds a few shapes (Kuril Islands; Gaza)
- better reflects the UN views (Ukraine; Western Sahara)
- adds names and ids (Norway; Kosovo; North Macedonia…)
- adds 3-letter codes (as properties.a3)
- quantized and optimized

Full documentation and examples notebook.

Usage

``{javascript}
const world = await fetch("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/visionscarto-world-atlas@0.1.0/world/110m.json").then(d => d.json());
const features = topojson.feature(world, world.objects.countries);
`

`{javascript}
const world = await fetch("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/visionscarto-world-atlas@0.1.0/world/50m.json").then(d => d.json());
const land = topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land);
``
