Question

I have following Geo JSON file data which i want to parse in Polygon(using java)

Geo JSON File

I have used geojson-jackson 1.0 for parsing using below Java code

GeoJsonObject[] object = new ObjectMapper().readValue(new File(fileLocation), GeoJsonObject[].class);
        if (object[0] instanceof Polygon) {
            System.out.println("yes");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("No");
        }

But i am getting an exception com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidTypeIdException: Could not resolve type id 'relocationzone' as a subtype of [simple type, class org.geojson.GeoJsonObject]: known type ids = [Feature, FeatureCollection, LineString, MultiLineString, MultiPoint, MultiPolygon, Point, Polygon]

Can anyone tell me how can i use above JSON file data to parse in Polygon successfully?

Answer 1

geojson-jackson 1.0 is flagging your input GeoJSON as invalid. The exception says that all valid GeoJSON inputs must have a type of either Feature, FeatureCollection, LineString, MultiLineString, MultiPoint, MultiPolygon, Point or Polygon. See https://github.com/opendatalab-de/geojson-jackson/blob/master/src/main/java/org/geojson/GeoJsonObject.java#L14-L16 for the actual source code.

The example input you provided has the type set to "relocationzone".

In order to get this to work you will need to extend geojson-jackson by creating new Java classes that more or less correspond to the structure of your GeoJSON inputs.

As a starting point you will need to create a class that looks something like this:

public class relocationzone extends GeoJsonObject {

    @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.ALWAYS)
    private Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.ALWAYS)

    // Expected JSON data
    private GeoJsonObject geometry;
    private String id;
    private String _id;
    private String updatedAt;;
    private String name;
    private String _v;
    private String createdAt;
    private String legacyId;


    public void setProperty(String key, Object value) {
        properties.put(key, value);
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T getProperty(String key) {
        return (T)properties.get(key);
    }

    public Map<String, Object> getProperties() {
        return properties;
    }

    public void setProperties(Map<String, Object> properties) {
        this.properties = properties;
    }

    public GeoJsonObject getGeometry() {
        return geometry;
    }

    public void setGeometry(GeoJsonObject geometry) {
        this.geometry = geometry;
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

}
