Convert GEOJSON to SHP

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert GEOJSON to SHP?
Yes - GEOJSON converts to SHP.

Convert to Esri Shapefile for desktop/legacy GIS. QGIS: load the .geojson, then Export > Save Features As > ESRI Shapefile; or ogr2ogr -f \"ESRI Shapefile\" out.shp in.geojson. Note Shapefile splits into .shp/.shx/.dbf, truncates field names to 10 chars and needs a single geometry type per file.

Also to SHP: TAB · MIF · GML
