    // data is the data.
});

csv2geojson.csv2geojson(csvString, {
    latfield: 'LATFIELDNAME',
    lonfield: 'LONFIELDNAME',
    delimiter: ','
}, function(err, data) {
});

Parse a CSV file and derive a GeoJSON FeatureCollection object from it. Err is non-falsy if latitude and longitude values cannot be detected or if there are invalid rows in the file. Delimiter can be ‘,’ for CSV or ‘\t’ for TSV or ‘|’ and other delimiters.

Delimiter can also be auto, and it will try , \t | ; and choose the ‘best’.

csv2geojson.dsv(delimiter).parse(dsvString);

The dsv library for barebones DSV parsing.

csv2geojson.auto(dsvString);

Automatically choose a delimiter to parse a dsv string with, and do it.

csv2geojson.toPolygon(gj);
csv2geojson.toLine(gj);

Given a GeoJSON file consisting of points, derive one consisting of a polygon or line that has the coordinates of those points, in the order given.
