How to get the Bounding box values from a GeoJSON file? - dictionary

Question

I have of GeoJSON file. But problem is, I do not know the projection of this file. Now, I want to overlay on my base map(OSM). How should I do it? This GeoJSON file contains features around Stockholm area. How can i set the bounding box for this? I tried with couple of openlayers example from hosting sites. But, those do not work for me. I got one example which is very similar with what i want, from (http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.11/examples/all-overlays.html). I checked the source code he used bounding box. But problem is, if I remove bounding box this example does not work(I tied with given data with this). I do not know, is there anything wrong with my json file? Bellow, I have given some sample data. Is the format OK? As I told, I tried with different way. Some time i read the json file just fine from script. But, It can not show the featured overlay ed map. Bellow, I gave sample code, that shows how I tried.

Code Sample----
//OSM Layer-----------------------------------------------
var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM( "Simple OSM Map");
//GeoJSON Layer-------------------------------------------
var vector_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON({});
var vector_protocol = new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
url: 'ml/roads.json',
format: vector_format
});
var vector_strategies = [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()];
var vector_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector('More Advanced Vector Layer',{
protocol: vector_protocol,
strategies: vector_strategies,
isBaseLayer: false
});
var options = {
layers: [layer, vector_layer]
};
var map = new OpenLayers.Map("map", options);
//Projection-----------------------------------------------
map.setCenter(
new OpenLayers.LonLat(18.068611, 59.329444).transform(
new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
map.getProjectionObject()
), 10
);
Thanks, in advance.

Answer 1

vector_layer.events.on({
loadend: function() {
map.zoomToExtent(vector_layer.getDataExtent());
}
});
I still think you should set your projection in the map constructor…
