Summary

KML, KMZ and GPX exports, and Data Interop's CSV with WKT, wrote attribute values with Value's Display, the format for showing a value on screen. As a result:

  • Numbers were rounded to 6 decimals: 0.1234567891 was written as 0.123457, and 1e-9 as 0.
  • A null name was written as the text <Null>, so a KML or GPX file read back had features named <Null>.

Nothing said so. CSV export already wrote numbers in full; its comment says Display rounds to 6 decimals.

  • New Value::to_file_text: a number as the shortest text that reads back as the same number, and nothing for null. Every other value is written as before.
  • to_kml (names and ExtendedData), to_gpx (names) and to_wkt_csv now use it, and so does CSV's csv_cell, which did the same thing inline.
  • Reading had the same loss: a GeoJSON column mixing text and numbers is read as text, and coerce turned its numbers into text with Display, so 0.1234567891 became "0.123457". It now uses to_file_text too.
  • Booleans keep their True/False text, and text and integers are unchanged.

Testing

  • cargo xtask ci.
  • New kml_gpx_and_wkt_csv_write_values_as_stored writes 0.1234567891, 1e-9 and a null name through all three writers. It checks the full numbers and the empty name, and that no Null text appears. A numeric name is written in full in KML and GPX. The existing writes_kml_gpx_wkt covers clean values.
  • New a_mixed_geojson_column_keeps_its_numbers_in_full reads a GeoJSON column of "a" and 0.1234567891 and gets the number as "0.1234567891".

Found by an export round-trip property test: generated layers were exported to each format, read back, and compared.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Exported numeric values retain full precision in KML, GPX, WKT, CSV, and text-typed GeoJSON properties.
    • Null values are written as empty text where applicable; KML continues to omit null attributes.
    • CSV formula-prefix protection remains unchanged.

…ames as nothing

They wrote attribute values with Value's Display, the format for showing
a value: numbers were rounded to 6 decimals (1e-9 became 0) and a null
name became the text "<Null>". Value::to_file_text writes a number as the
shortest text that reads back as the same number, and null as nothing;
CSV's csv_cell, which did the same inline, uses it too.

Code review

The change is correct as far as I can verify by reading. I found no bugs, security issues or performance problems in the changed lines. I could not compile or run the new test here, so CI is the first real check of it.

Bugs

  • Outside the diff, same loss (confidence ~60%): coerce in crates/data/src/io.rs:1362 still does Value::Text(v.to_string()) for non-text values in Text-typed fields. It is reached from the GeoJSON property reader (io.rs:1182) and from citymodel.rs:849. A number in such a column is rounded to 6 decimals with no notice, which is the loss this PR fixes elsewhere. The one-token fix is v.to_file_text(). I did not trace how field types are inferred, so I have not confirmed that a mixed column reaches this path in practice.

Security

  • None found. The xml() and q() escaping on the changed lines is unchanged.

Performance

  • None found. to_file_text allocates the same as the to_string() calls it replaces.

Quality

  • Non-finite floats (confidence ~50%, pre-existing): to_file_text writes NaN and ±inf as NaN / inf text in KML, GPX and CSV. Display already did the same, so this is not a regression. JSON writes null for non-finite values (value.rs:62, :131). The new doc comment says "a number" without covering this case, so it is worth either documenting or deciding explicitly.

AGENTS.md

  • Never silent: full-precision output removes an approximation, so no notice is needed. The null-name change is not a loss.
  • Never crash: no unwrap, expect, panic or indexing is added.
  • Test both ways: kml_gpx_and_wkt_csv_write_values_as_stored covers the lossy inputs (0.1234567891, 1e-9, a null name). The helper signatures it uses (Dataset::new, push, Field, FieldType, Value) match the code.
  • Layering: all changes stay in crates/data.

I checked that to_file_text matches the old output for the other cases: integers, booleans, text, integer-valued floats including -0.0, and the CSV formula guard.

Prior review threads: none on this PR, so nothing was left alone.

Review of opengeos#1786: coerce turned a number in a text column into text with
Display, rounding it to 6 decimals, when a GeoJSON column mixes text and
numbers. It now uses Value::to_file_text. The KML/GPX test also covers
a numeric name.

Code review follow-up, in e2f09b3:

  • coerce outside the diff: confirmed and fixed. A GeoJSON column of text and numbers is read as text, and coerce turned its numbers into text with Display, rounding them. It now uses to_file_text. New a_mixed_geojson_column_keeps_its_numbers_in_full covers it.
  • Non-finite numbers as text: to_file_text writes NaN and infinity as NaN / inf, as Display did. Documenting or changing that is left for the release quality pass.

cargo xtask ci passed.

Code review

I found no bugs, security problems, or performance problems in the changed lines. The change is small and I checked its behaviour against the existing code. I posted no inline comments because nothing cleared the bar for one. The two quality points below are for the summary only.

Bugs

  • None found. to_file_text matches the old output for every value except finite floats, which now print in full, as the PR intends. Integers, booleans and text are unchanged, and NaN/inf print as before. The csv_cell refactor keeps the same output for null, text and float. The formula guard in to_wkt_csv still leaves negative numbers unprefixed. The new test expectations match what the writers produce. Confidence: high.

Security

  • None found. The change only alters how values are formatted. Output stays XML-escaped and CSV-quoted as before. Confidence: high.

Performance

  • None found. Each value still costs one String allocation, as the old to_string did. Confidence: high.

Quality

  • Calculate Field still rounds decimals written into text fields to six places (crates/engine/src/cmd/edit.rs:124-126, documented in docs/user-guide/expressions.md:185). That is documented, so it is not silent, but it is the same precision loss this PR removes from readers and writers. Confirm the author is happy to leave it and say so in the PR. Confidence: medium.
  • A null name is now written as an empty <name> in KML and GPX (crates/data/src/interop.rs:68 and :97), with no fallback to the feature id. The previous output was <Null>, which was also unhelpful. Consider the fallback, or leave it as is. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations found. There is no unwrap or expect in non-test code, and no new dependency or UI text. The change adds no lossy path, so it needs no notice. The new tests cover full precision and clean inputs. Confidence: high.

Earlier concerns: 1 was left alone. It is the CodeRabbit thread asking for a numeric-name test. It is resolved, and the author added the test in e2f09b3.
