Foreign Members are those that aren’t in the spec. i.e. properties in the feature collection object that aren’t the big 3,
type
,bbox
andfeatures
.Support for this has been requested 3 times. #1 #13 #42
This PR adds full support to those features by storing them in a
ExtraMembers
map in the feature collection. These members will be encoded/decoded to/from the base feature collection as expected.Concerns
There was an example and issue response suggesting to embed a feature collection in another object like so
This approach will no longer work and has been abandoned because marshaling/encoding was not supported. To maintain this behavior one can add a
UnmarshalJSON()
method on the new struct type like so:Note: you could still do this to keep things type safe but the reverse
MarshalJSON
would also need to be implemented for encoding to work.Performance
Benchmarks did no show any meaningful change in performance after this change.
