<p>This document describes the CoverageJSON format and explains how it is well-suited to representation of spatial data on the Web: with a number of advantages for use in a web context, in comparison to alternative established approaches for serialisation of coverage data. It is a good match to the Use Case Requirements [[SDW-UCR]] and Best Practices [[SDW-BP]] of the Spatial Data on the Web working group.

<p>Serialisations (i.e. data formats) based upon community-specific binary formats and complex XML schemas provide usability challenges for the development of web applications. Javascript libraries do not always exist for these formats, and the formats are complex, requiring specialist knowledge on the part of the web developer. Our overall aim is to <strong>make it easier for web developers to consume coverage data in their applications</strong>, minimising the need for prior knowledge about community-specific data formats.</p>
<p>Therefore our objective in this work was to develop a well-structured, consistent and easy-to-use JSON format for coverage data that fulfils the following criteria:</p>
