Hi,

I have been fighting, again, with non-interoperatible WFS servers/clients.  
Problem is most often in servers sending such GML that clients, from some 
reason, do not want to parse.  Situation is not much better now than five years 
ago when I made my first trials.

Now I have noticed that at least two WFS servers, Geoserver and TinyOWS, can 
send out geojson. For me it looks much more simple 
than GML. Developers, do you think it could be possible to make OpenJUMP in the 
first phase to import geojson data? Second phase would be to make an option to 
the WFS plugin to ask server to send geojson and parse that instead of GML.

The format definitions are here:

http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html

Data in geojson format are available from my server.

TinyOWS seems to send coordinates without projection info but that should not 
be a problem for OpenJUMP, and perhaps it will have CRS objects later.
