This project serves to help developers and students have easy access to TopoJSON formatted maps for Geo-Mapping. TopoJSON is substantially more compact than GeoJSON, which results in a faster load time and efficient rendering of the map.

- If you only want to download (a) specific file(s), then navigate your way through the repository, click on the file you want to download, and click on Raw. After clicking Raw, you should see the contents of the file in JSON format. Simply use Command-S (MAC) or CTRL-S (PC) to save the file. Make sure the extension of the file is .json and NOT .html.
