Is geometry required for Item? #1215

Closed ka7eh closed 1 year ago

ka7eh commented 1 year ago

The Description column (https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/blob/master/item-spec/item-spec.md#item-fields) says it's required, but the Type column says it can be null. Which one is correct? Does it accept null just to be compatible with geojson spec?

Required means that the field geometry must be present either with a valid geometry or with null value.

Got it. Thanks. I'll close this.
