Geospatial Queries Using 'PyMongo'

Utilizes methods of the 'PyMongo' 'Python' library to initialize, insert and query 'GeoJson' data (see <https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver> for more information on 'PyMongo'). Furthermore, it allows the user to validate 'GeoJson' objects and to use the console for 'MongoDB' (bulk) commands. The 'reticulate' package provides the 'R' interface to 'Python' modules, classes and functions.

The GeoMongo package utilizes methods of the PyMongo Python library to initialize, insert and query GeoJson data. Furthermore, it allows the user to validate GeoJson objects and to use the console for MongoDB (bulk) commands.
