GeoJSON linters available in geojsonlint

All three functions return the same outputs. If the GeoJSON is valid, they return TRUE. If the GeoJSON is invalid, they return FALSE, plus reason(s) that the GeoJSON is invalid in an attribute named errors as a data.frame. The fields in the data.frame's are not the same across functions unfortunately, but they can be easily coerced to combine via e.g., plyr::rbind.fill or dplyr::bind_rows or data.table::rbindlist(fill = TRUE)

The parameters for the three functions are similar, though geojson_validate() has an extra parameter greedy that's not available in the others, and geojson_hint() has ... parameter to pass on curl options as it works with a web service.
