I agree that reducing the amount of options is desired. However, the argument in favour of PROJJSON is biased. It assumes that there is only two options: having PROJ, or having no referencing library at all. The third option, having a referencing library other than PROJ (e.g. ESRI, GeoTools, Apache SIS, Proj4J, PyCRS and more that I don't know) seems completely ignored. Those libraries support WKT, not PROJJSON. A standard CRS JSON is very likely to happen, just not now. It may be a matter of about 2 years. This delay is the price to pay for better consistency with ISO 19111 and ISO 19115-4. In the meantime, if the community decides to exclude WKT, I would be in favour of only SRID with one amendment: if there is a desire to use EPSG codes with (_east_, _north_) axis order, consider making it explicit with a `Permutation` field as defined by ISO 19107:2019 ยง6.2.8.6 (note: it may be an issue for GeoParquet instead than Iceberg). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
