Getting the Microsoft US Building Footprints into ArcGIS Pro
Last week, Microsoft Released 125 million Building Footprints in the US as Open Data. This is a pretty exciting release of open geospatial data. Let’s convert the GeoJSON file to Esri JSON features before importing into ArcGIS Pro.
GeoJSON Viewer
You have a URL to a GeoJSON file, and you want to quickly view the data spatially. Use this simple tool I just published on GitHub - GeoJSON-viewer.
ArcGIS JSON to GeoJSON
A tool to make it easy to convert (and map using GitHub’s GeoJSON maps) the JSON you get from ArcGIS Server Endpoints into GeoJSON.

GitHub recently released a landing page to help governmental organizations get their data into the GitHub cloud. I am very excited to see more government organizations use GitHub to share, collaborate, and publish our data. Here’s an example of the “open” data that is available in my neck of the woods.
