fastgeojson: High-Performance 'GeoJSON' and 'JSON' Serialization

Converts R data frames and 'sf' spatial objects into 'JSON' and 'GeoJSON' strings. The core encoders are implemented in 'Rust' using the 'extendr' framework and are designed to efficiently serialize large tabular and spatial datasets. Returns serialized 'JSON' text, allowing applications such as 'shiny' or web APIs to transfer data to client-side 'JavaScript' libraries without additional encoding overhead.
