GeoJson DTOs for Jackson

A small package of all GeoJson DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) for serializing and deserializing of objects via JSON Jackson Parser.

Usage

If you know what kind of object you expect from a GeoJson file you can directly read it like this:

FeatureCollection featureCollection = 
	new ObjectMapper().readValue(inputStream, FeatureCollection.class);

If you what to read any GeoJson file read the value as GeoJsonObject and then test for the contents via instanceOf:

GeoJsonObject object = new ObjectMapper().readValue(inputStream, GeoJsonObject.class);
if (object instanceOf Polygon) {
	...
} else if (object instanceOf Feature) {
	...
}

and so on.

Or you can use the GeoJsonObjectVisitor to visit the right method:

GeoJsonObject object = new ObjectMapper().readValue(inputStream, GeoJsonObject.class);
object.accept(visitor);

Writing Json is even easier. You just have to create the GeoJson objects and pass them to the Jackson ObjectMapper.

FeatureCollection featureCollection = new FeatureCollection();
featureCollection.add(new Feature());

String json= new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(featureCollection);
