[R-sig-Geo] writeOGR(GeoJSON) to string instead of file

[Philip Greenwood]

Hi all,

My project requires passing spatial data from R to Java, and then storing data as GeoJSON. I'm using RServe to interface between R and Java. 

I'm using writeOGR{rgdal} to a create GeoJSON temporary file then reading the file and passing as a string in Java. It would be really nice to avoid writing the temporary file, and have R return a GeoJSON string.

Is this possible?

Thanks.
