[gdal-dev] GDAL reads ESRI MultiLinestring as simple Linestring

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

I was reading the documentation of ESRI json from
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/geometry.html and this
example seems to be about a MultiLinestring with two parts:

A 2D polyline

{
"paths" : [ 
 [ [-97.06138,32.837], [-97.06133,32.836], [-97.06124,32.834],
[-97.06127,32.832] ], 
 [ [-97.06326,32.759], [-97.06298,32.755] ]
],
"spatialReference" : {"wkid" : 4326}
}

However, GDAL reads the geometry as a single Linestring when I bake the
paths inside a json document. I wrote the document by hand and I am not sure
if it is correct but at least GDAL reads it:

{
 
 "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolyline",
 "spatialReference": {
  "wkid": 4326,
  "latestWkid": 4326
 },
 "fields": [
   ],
 "features": [
  {
   "attributes": {
   },
   "geometry": {
"paths" : [ 
 [ [-97.06138,32.837], [-97.06133,32.836], [-97.06124,32.834],
[-97.06127,32.832] ], 
 [ [-97.06326,32.759], [-97.06298,32.755] ]
],
"spatialReference" : {"wkid" : 4326}
}
        }
       ]
}
