Where GeoJSON Breaks and KMZ Still Wins

GeoJSON looks clean and modern, but try rendering ten million points on a map and your browser will crash. In this episode, we stress-test geographic data formats — where GeoJSON's text-based design collapses at scale, why KMZ still dominates for styled field surveys and time-animated data, and what you lose every time you convert between them. We cover the real-world performance ceiling of each format, the workaround that breaks the spec but keeps workflows alive, and why the conversion pipeline (GDAL's ogr2ogr) is the actual skill you need.
