Standard types

FeatureCollection

On this page

A GeoJSON FeatureCollection: features of one geometry type and one properties type, in order, as a map library takes a layer.

Geospatial; not ordered; since Jadpo 0.1.0.

Make one

Build one from its fields, FeatureCollection { features: ... }.

Fields

Field Type
features List<Feature<G, P>>

Text, JSON and storage

It has no single text form, so text.from and text.parse don't take it. JSON sends a GeoJSON object of its geometry and properties.

JSON
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[{"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-0.1276,51.5072]},"properties":{"name":"Site A"}}]}
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type jsonb. {"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]} is stored as '{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}'::jsonb.

Shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[{"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-0.1276,51.5072]},"properties":{"name":"Site A"}}]} ""
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]} ""

Operations

It has the contract's own operations: text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. It isn't ordered, so < and sorting don't take it. Every standard type meets one contract says how they work.
