Methods

readFeature(source, opt_options){module:ol/Feature~Feature}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 37

Read a feature. Only works for a single feature. Use readFeatures to read a feature collection.

Name Type Description
source ArrayBuffer | Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

options

Read options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection module: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 dataProjection of the format is assigned (where set). If the projection can not be derived from the data and if no dataProjection is set for a format, the features will not be reprojected.

extent module:ol/extent~Extent

Tile extent in map units of the tile being read. This is only required when reading data with tile pixels as geometry units. When configured, a dataProjection with TILE_PIXELS as units and the tile's pixel extent as extent needs to be provided.

featureProjection module: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.<module:ol/Feature~Feature>}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 51

Read all features. Works with both a single feature and a feature collection.

Name Type Description
source ArrayBuffer | Document | Node | Object | string

extent module:ol/extent~Extent

featureProjection module:ol/proj~ProjectionLike

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

Returns:
Features.

readGeometry(source, opt_options){module:ol/geom/Geometry~Geometry}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 86

Read a geometry.

Name Type Description

extent module:ol/extent~Extent

featureProjection module:ol/proj~ProjectionLike

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

Returns:
Geometry.

readProjection(source){module:ol/proj/Projection~Projection}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 109

Read the projection.

Name Type Description
source ArrayBuffer | Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

Returns:
Projection.

writeFeature(feature, opt_options){string}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 131

Encode a feature as string.

Name Type Description
feature module:ol/Feature~Feature

Feature.

options

Write options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection module:ol/proj~ProjectionLike

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

featureProjection module:ol/proj~ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries that will be serialized by the format writer. If not provided, geometries are assumed to be in the dataProjection if that is set; in other words, they are not transformed.

rightHanded boolean

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.

decimals number

Maximum number of decimal places for coordinates. Coordinates are stored internally as floats, but floating-point arithmetic can create coordinates with a large number of decimal places, not generally wanted on output. Set a number here to round coordinates. Can also be used to ensure that coordinates read in can be written back out with the same number of decimals. Default is no rounding.

Returns:
Encoded feature.

writeFeatures(features, opt_options){string}

format/JSONFeature.js, line 153

Encode an array of features as string.

Name Type Description
features Array.<module:ol/Feature~Feature>

Features.
