Class GeoJsonReader

java.lang.Object

org.locationtech.jts.io.geojson.GeoJsonReader

public class GeoJsonReader
extends Object

Reads a GeoJson Geometry from a JSON fragment into a Geometry.

A specification of the GeoJson format can be found at the GeoJson web site: http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html.

It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the supplied PrecisionModel matches the precision of the incoming data. If a lower precision for the data is required, a subsequent process must be run on the data to reduce its precision.

Constructor Detail

GeoJsonReader

public GeoJsonReader()

The default constructor uses the SRID from the Geojson CRS and the default PrecisionModel to create a GeometryFactory. If there is no CRS specified then the default CRS is a geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, and with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees (SRID = 4326)

GeoJsonReader

public GeoJsonReader(GeometryFactory geometryFactory)

This constructor accepts a GeometryFactory that is used to create the output geometries and to override the GeoJson CRS.

Parameters:

geometryFactory - a GeometryFactory
