Methods

readFeature(source, opt_options){ol.Feature}

src/ol/format/geojsonformat.js, line 384

Read a feature from a GeoJSON Feature source. Only works for Feature, use readFeatures to read FeatureCollection source.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

options

Read options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

Projection of the data we are reading. If not provided, the projection will be derived from the data (where possible) or the defaultDataProjection of the format is assigned (where set). If the projection can not be derived from the data and if no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will not be reprojected.

featureProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries created by the format reader. If not provided, features will be returned in the dataProjection.

Returns:
Feature.

readFeatures(source, opt_options){Array.<ol.Feature>}

src/ol/format/geojsonformat.js, line 397

Read all features from a GeoJSON source. Works with both Feature and FeatureCollection sources.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

options

Read options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

If the projection can not be derived from the data and if no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will not be reprojected.

featureProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

Returns:
Projection.

writeFeature(feature, opt_options){string}

src/ol/format/geojsonformat.js, line 519

Encode a feature as a GeoJSON Feature string.

Name Type Description
feature ol.Feature

Feature.

options

Write options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

Projection of the data we are writing. If not provided, the defaultDataProjection of the format is assigned (where set). If no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will be returned in the featureProjection.

featureProjection ol.proj.ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries that will be serialized by the format writer.

rightHanded boolean | undefined

When writing geometries, follow the right-hand rule for linear ring orientation. This means that polygons will have counter-clockwise exterior rings and clockwise interior rings. By default, coordinates are serialized as they are provided at construction. If true, the right-hand rule will be applied. If false, the left-hand rule will be applied (clockwise for exterior and counter-clockwise for interior rings). Note that not all formats support this. The GeoJSON format does use this property when writing geometries.

Returns:
GeoJSON.

writeFeatureObject(feature, opt_options){Object}

src/ol/format/geojsonformat.js, line 530

Encode a feature as a GeoJSON Feature object.

Name Type Description
feature ol.Feature

Feature.
