Description
This topic discusses the JSON feature object as returned by the REST API.
A feature consists of the following two properties. All properties are optional.
- geometry—The feature
geometry. It can be any of the supported geometry types. It is a
JSON object as defined in the Geometry Objects documentation.
Example: "geometry" : {"x" : -118.15, "y" : 33.80}
- attributes—The feature attributes. It is a JSON object that contains a dictionary of name-value pairs. The names are the feature field names. The values are the field values, and they can be any of the standard JSON types: string, number, and boolean. Note that date values are encoded as numbers. The number represents the number of milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970) in UTC.
Example: "attributes" : {
"OWNER" : "Joe Smith", //string
"VALUE" : 94820.37, //number
"APPROVED" : true, //boolean
"LASTUPDATE" : 1227663551096 //date
}
