Description
What would it take to add a format hook? I'm still thinking about my GIS workflow, and being able to do
sqlite-utils query ... --geojsonwould be nice. It's the one place my Datasette workflow is messy, having to dodatasette . --get /path/to/query.geojson --setting max_rows_returned 10000 --load-extension spatialite.
I know the current pattern is--csv, but maybe--format geojsonis more future-proof.
