fgbdump

fgbdump prints the contents of a FlatGeobuf file in a human-readable terminal user interface.

There are three tabs which can be navigated using the left and right arrow keys:

1. Metadata: shows the metadata of the dataset from the FlatGeobuf header
2. Columns: which shows the list of column names in the dataset and associated metadata
3. Map: visualizes the extent of the dataset as a green rectangle over the world map

Within a given tab, you can scroll up and down using the up and down arrow keys or the j and k keys.

Press q or ctrl-c to quit the application.

Installation

If you would like a pre-built binary for your platform or package manager, please open an issue.

Limitations

• the map is EPSG:4326 only and I have not implemented projection for the bounding box yet
  • if you would like to see projection support, please open an issue
• the bounding box may have some visual artifacts which cause it to have extra padding around the border and not be a pure rectangle
• long metadata values may cause unusual wrap text behavior
