FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

For more documentation, please refer to https://docs.ushahidi.com

JSON Validation

When working with JSON, you should make sure it's valid. You can test it out easily by pasting your JSON into the form on http://jsonlint.com/ which will format your JSON and tell you if it's valid or not.

GeoJSON Validation

GeoJSON is a special type of JSON that allows you to display geo data in a standard way. Some databases store geometries using GeoJSON as well. GeoJSON cannot technically be validated but there are a couple tools that will help you determine if your GeoJSON is good or not.

http://geojsonlint.com/ is a good resource for testing your GeoJSON and alternatively, you can paste your GeoJSON in this OpenLayers example, http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-formats.html
