# GeoJSON format

#### What is GeoJSON?

[GeoJSON](https://geojson.org/) is a widely used format for encoding geographic data structures using JSON. It represents features (like plots) as JSON objects with geometry and associated properties.

#### Supported GeoJSON Types

The following GeoJSON object types are used for plots:

* **Feature**: Represents a single plot.
* **FeatureCollection**: Represents a collection of plots.

#### Content-Type and Accept Headers for GeoJSON

To use GeoJSON in your

* **Request Payload**: Set `Content-Type: application/geo+json`
* **Responses**: Set `Accept: application/geo+json`

The system will automatically serialize and deserialize GeoJSON according to these headers, converting `Feature` and `FeatureCollection` objects to and from the internal data model.

#### Plot as GeoJSON Feature

A single plot is represented as a `Feature` with the following structure:

```json
{
  "type": "Feature",
  "id": "UUID",
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[[...]]]  // Lng/Lat pairs in GeoJSON format
  },
  "properties": {
    "name": "Plot A",
    "commodity": "timber",
    "createdAt": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
    "updatedAt": "2024-01-05T12:00:00Z",
    "businessId": "business-uuid",
    // ....additional properties
  }
}
```

#### Multiple Plots as FeatureCollection

When listing or batch-creating multiple plots, the response or request will use a `FeatureCollection`:

```json
{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "id": "plot-uuid-1",
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",
        "coordinates": [[[...]]]
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "Plot 1",
        "commodity": "coffee"
        // ....additional properties
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "id": "plot-uuid-2",
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",
        "coordinates": [[[...]]]
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "Plot 2",
        "commodity": "cocoa"
        // ....additional properties
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
