Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.

Points

json_type: json_point

Features with their json_type set to json_point are single coordinate features.

Lines

json_type: json_line

Features with their json_type set to json_line are polyline features or an aggregate of polylines.

Areas

json_type: json_polygon

Features with their json_type set to json_polygon are polygon features which may or may not have interior boundaries.

Rectangles

json_type: json_rectangle

MultiPoint

json_type: json_multipoint
