The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the ESRIJSON reader is ESRIJSON.
DATASET
The location of the ESRIJSON file to be read. This can be the path to a local or network file, or a URL.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_DATASET c:\json_sample.json
ESRIJSON_DATASET \\path\to\network\file.json
ESRIJSON_DATASET http://mysite.com/esrijson
Workbench Parameter
Source ESRIJSON File or URL
DELETE_DOWNLOAD_FILE
If the value of this directive is set to Yes, when the reader has finished reading downloaded ESRIJSON text, it will delete the local file that the text was downloaded to.
Values
Yes (default) | No
The value of this directive is only meaningful if the dataset is a URL.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_DELETE_DOWNLOAD_FILE No
Workbench Parameter
Delete downloaded file
MAKE_DONUTS
If this directive is set to Yes, the reader will attempt to create donut geometries for any feature containing multiple polygon geometries. This allows the reader to recover donut geometries that were output from the ESRIJSON writer.
If this directive is set to No, the geometry will be unchanged.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_MAKE_DONUTS Yes
Workbench Parameter
Create donuts from areas
MAKE_PATHS
If this directive is set to Yes, the reader will attempt to create path geometries for any feature containing multiple line geometries. This allows the reader to recover path geometries that were output from the ESRIJSON writer. Only continuous consecutive lines will be merged into a path. New path segments will not be created.
If this directive is set to No, the geometry will be unchanged.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_MAKE_PATHS Yes
Workbench Parameter
Create paths from connected lines
SIMPLIFY_MULTIS
The default geometry on many feature types is a multi-geometry.
If this directive is set to Yes, the reader will simplify any multi-geometries which only contain a single part. The multi-geometry will be replaced with the part.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_SIMPLIFY_MULTIS No
Workbench Parameter
Simplify multi-geometries containing only one part
HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME
Required/Optional
Optional
Specifies the username to use when accessing an Esri-JSON file on a password protected server. This directive is ignored if either of the HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD or HTTP_AUTH_METHOD directives have no value.
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME someusername
Workbench Parameter
Http Username
HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD
Required/Optional
Optional
Specifies the password to use when accessing an Esri-JSON file on a password protected server. This directive is ignored if either of the HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME or HTTP_AUTH_METHOD directives have no value.
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD password1234
Workbench Parameter
Http Password
HTTP_AUTH_METHOD
Required/Optional
Optional
Specifies the authentication method to use when accessing an Esri-JSON file on a password protected server. This directive is ignored if either of the HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME or HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD directives have no value. Acceptable values for this directive are ‘Basic’, ‘Digest’ or ‘NTLM’.
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_HTTP_AUTH_METHOD Basic
Workbench Parameter
Http Authentication Method
PROXY_URL
Specifies a proxy server that the reader will use when accessing a URL dataset. The port number of the proxy server can be set in the URL, or by using the PROXY_PORT directive.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_PROXY_URL www.someproxy.net
ESRIJSON_PROXY_URL www.someproxy.net:8080
Workbench Parameter
Http Proxy URL
PROXY_PORT
Specifies the port number of the proxy server indicated by the PROXY_URL directive.
This directive should only be used if the port number was not indicated in the PROXY_URL directive, and it is ignored if the PROXY_URL directive has no value.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_PROXY_PORT 8080
Workbench Parameter
Proxy Port
PROXY_USERNAME
Specifies the username to use when accessing a password-protected proxy server.
This directive is ignored if any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_PASSWORD or PROXY_AUTH_METHOD directives have no value.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_PROXY_USERNAME someusername
Workbench Parameter
Proxy Username
PROXY_PASSWORD
Specifies the password to use when accessing a password-protected proxy server.
This directive is ignored if there is no value for any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_USERNAME or PROXY_AUTH_METHOD directives.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_PROXY_PASSWORD password1234
Workbench Parameter
Proxy Password
PROXY_AUTH_METHOD
Specifies the authentication method to use when accessing a password-protected proxy server. This directive is ignored if there is no value for any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_USERNAME or PROXY_PASSWORD directives.
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
Basic | Digest | NTLM
Mapping File Syntax
ESRIJSON_PROXY_AUTH_METHOD Basic
Workbench Parameter
Proxy Authentication Method
EXPOSED_ATTRS
This directive allows the selection of format attributes to be explicitly added to the reader feature type.
This is similar to exposing format attributes on a reader feature type once it has been generated; however, it is even more powerful because it enables schema-driven applications other than Workbench to access and leverage these attributes as if they were explicitly on the schema as user attributes.
The result of picking a list of attributes is a comma-separated list of attribute names and types that will be added to the schema features. Currently all reader feature types will receive the same set of additional schema attributes for a given instance of the reader.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
Not applicable.
While it is possible for FME Objects applications to invoke this directive, the required format is not documented.
This directive is intended for use in our GUI applications (for example, Workbench) only.
Workbench Parameter
