NaturalEarth.jl
This package provides a Julia interface to the Natural Earth dataset. The Natural Earth dataset is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. It is ideal for small-scale thematic mapping and for creating static maps and illustrations.
Currently, this package provides a single function, naturalearth, which fetches any .geojson file from this repository. The function returns a GeoJSON.FeatureCollection object.
The data is downloaded on demand and cached using Julia's Artifacts system. This means that the first time you fetch a dataset, it will take a while to download, and you will need an internet connection. Subsequent calls will be much faster, even in a new session.
