As Etienne said, you can use geojson if you want to.
I recommend it.
Create geojson files that look like this:
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name":
"urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } },
"features": [
{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "id": 1,
Hi,
You will find most of the information on this page.
https://qgis.org/en/docs/index.html#testing. The documentation is good but
must always keep up with the ever evolving QGIS. This is not always the case
as it is also maintained by a group of well meaning volunteers. You will find
Etienne,
Being a newer user I don’t know about the QGIS API. I will take a look.
Thank you,
Lee

Thank you for the link. I was able to use the info to create a wkt file that
worked. But I also had to use a blog post to help me to figure out how to add
the proper header:

QGIS is using OGR in the background to read vector data. So every format
supported by OGR is fine for QGIS. You can write geojson, geopackage,
sqlite, shapefile, it's fine for OGR API(write) and QGIS Desktop (read).
But are you sure you want to use the OGR API to write your file? IMHO, QGIS
API is
QGIS can read wkt. This could help.

I’d like to write vector line data in lat/lon coordinates to a file that QGIS
can read and display. I have the osgeo ogr module, but can’t see to find the
right documentation on how to use it for this simple task.
Thanks,
Lee
