About the GEOJSON format

GeoJSON became a standard as RFC 7946 in 2016. A file contains features with a geometry (point, line or polygon) and any properties, in plain JSON that JavaScript map libraries load directly.

On Convert.Online GeoJSON is a target: GPS tracks, routes and places from GPX, KML, KMZ, TCX, FIT and IGC are turned into GeoJSON for a web map or GIS. It is not read back, because the tracks would be lost.
