[gdal-dev] How far can we resolve complex GeoJSON?

The WFS3 driver has some (primitive) support for JSON schema and XML schema, 
but only for the "simple features" profile.

No, it uses underneath the GeoJSON driver (and doesn't expose the open option 
I mentionned).

Dealing with complex features + streaming mode that you typically expect from 
reading from a WFS server would be a complicated (not to say impossible) 
topic.
The GMLAS driver can deal with arbitrarily large datasets, but this requires 
at least 2 reading passes for various technical reasons.
