@ninok These changes look good. So, this PR is for binary well known format support? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text_representation_of_geometry

Could you link me to some public geo datasets in .wkb format I could use for testing and adding samples to ./data examples folder?

Thanks for contributing these changes!

Thanks for review @RandomFractals!

You are correct that these changes are for well known binary encoded in hex string (i.e. that's why I pass {hex: true} to wkbFormat.readFeatures).
I also updated the PR title to make it more clear.

This format is basically what you get from PostGIS when not converting the geometry to text, e.g.:

SELECT 'POLYGON((10.689 -25.092, 34.595 -20.170, 38.814 -35.639, 13.502 -39.155, 10.689 -25.092))'::geometry;

gives you

Is this enough for testing? I can also add this file to this PR.
Are there some automated test where this file would be used or is it just for quick mannual testing?

@ninok are going to merge this? ;)

Hi @ts-ldash ,
I can hardly remember this pull request after 3 years, but I think it's ready for merge. It should be merged by the repo owner though.
@RandomFractals any objections merging this?
