FlatGeobuf is built for large datasets and cloud-native web maps. CSV is built for spreadsheets, databases and BI tools.
FlatGeobuf
FlatGeobuf is an open, binary vector format built on FlatBuffers. It stores features with a built-in spatial index, so software can read just the area it needs.
It is one of the fastest formats to read and write, and it can be streamed over HTTP from cloud storage without a map server.
CSV
CSV (comma-separated values) is plain text where each line is a row and commas separate the columns. Location is stored in coordinate columns, such as latitude and longitude, or as WKT geometry text.
Every spreadsheet, database and BI tool reads CSV, which makes it the universal hand-off format. It has no data types, styles or coordinate system metadata.
Your FlatGeobuf file
A FlatGeobuf file holds one layer.
The CSV output
Geometry is stored as text — coordinates or WKT — in columns next to the attributes.
Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
Open FlatGeobuf attributes in Excel or Google Sheets to sort, filter and pivot.
Load FlatGeobuf records into PostgreSQL, MySQL or BigQuery with standard import tools.
Feed the table to Power BI, Tableau or Looker Studio.
Every converter runs in your browser and keeps your files on your device.
