Align featureType with JSON-FG #32

Closed alexrobin closed 5 months ago

alexrobin commented 5 months ago

Currently the "featureType" property is included in the "properties" member of a GeoJSON Feature. JSON-FG chose to include it at the root. Should we align to it?

As discussed during the telecon today, there is a chance that having an extra root property in GeoJSON could break some implementations.

Even if not breaking, some software would not work out of the box. For example, importing the features inside a DB would probably lead to loosing the featureType value.

As agreed during 01/24 telecon we will keep the featureType inside the GeoJSON properties object for now until more implementation experience is collected.

We also agreed to keep the JSON-FG requirements class out of part 1 and address it at a later stage.
