How is GeoJSON used in ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
The ArcGIS API for JavaScript has evolved. It now provides a GeoJSON layer to fully support GeoJSON data sources. The GeoJSON layer allows you to easily pull in GeoJSON data by referencing the URL and adding the layer to the map (Fig. 1). Attributes data can drive the size and color of map symbols.
How can I add a geojsonlayer to a map?
The GeoJSONLayer allows you to add features from a GeoJSON file (.geojson). The file is referenced as a hosted file on the web. Because of this, the file must be publically accessible. This sample shows how to add an instance of GeoJSONLayer to a Map in a MapView.
What can you do with a GeoJSON layer?
It enables you to build web apps with striking visualizations and interactive workflows using all kinds of data formats. You can load GeoJSON and comma-separated values (CSV) files, and Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) services, and use third-party basemaps with a few lines of code and style them just as you would any ArcGIS layer type.
When did The GeoJSON layer come out in JavaScript?
This is all handled by the CSVLayer. GeoJSON was developed in 2008 through community discussion and consensus to include spatial data in the newly popular JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. GeoJSON offered web developers an easy way to extend existing APIs.
Can a GeoJSON be used in any projection?
While GeoJSON data is limited to WGS84, your map or basemap isn’t. It can be in any projection. The fun doesn’t end there. You can add pop-ups and labels and style features using the same techniques you use to visualize data in other layer types.
What kind of coordinate system does GeoJSON use?
GeoJSON uses World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84), a geographic coordinate reference system, so the map was limited to WGS84 or Web Mercator spatial references. Using another coordinate reference system would mean additional effort.
What does a feature layer in GeoJSON do?
A feature layer is a dataset in a hosted feature service. Each feature layer contains features with a single geometry type (point, line, or polygon), and a set of attributes. You can access and display features by making query requests to the feature service and displaying them in a map.
How to format spatial data in GeoJSON format?
SQL Server 2016 has FOR JSON clause that can be used to format results as JSON. Here is example how to convert spatial columns to GeoJSON http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2016/01/05/returning-spatial-data-in-geojson-format.aspx
When to use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.11. The GeoJSONLayer class is used to create a layer based on GeoJSON. GeoJSON is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. The GeoJSON data must comply with the RFC 7946 specification which states that the coordinates are in SpatialReference.WGS84.

How to convert GeoJSON object to GML geometry?
GeoTools can read GeoJSON and give you a JTS geometry or a Feature, which can then be used to generate GML using a org.geotools.xml.Encoder. Then configure an encoder to write GML.
