Esri-JSON (Esri JavaScript Object Notation) 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.

Geometry

The geometry of Esri-JSON features may be identified by the json_type attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:

json_type

Description

json_point

Point feature

json_line

Linear feature

json_polygon

Simple polygon or donut feature

json_rectangle

Rectangular (that is, bounding box) feature

json_multipoint

Multipoint feature

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

Features with their json_type set to json_rectangle are bounding box features.

MultiPoint

json_type: json_multipoint

Features with their json_type set to json_multipoint are an aggregate of points.
