Plugin Description

The XML and GeoJSON Converter plugin allows users to convert annotation files between XML and GeoJSON formats directly within Icy.
It is useful for interoperability between tools that use different annotation formats, especially for QuPath users who need to convert their annotations for use in Icy or vice versa.
