JSON To Features "POLYLINE" geometry type

GabrielMarcus1 — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 20:14:54 GMT

I imported a GeoJSON using JSON to Features (AGP 2.3.2). Unfortunately there's no option to select the geometry type through the GP dialog box. When I reviewed the documentation for the python code example, I saw that "geometry_type" can convert "POLYLINE". However, according to RFC7946 Section 3.1.4 there is no Polyline type that GeoJSON recognizes. LineString appears to be the equivalent.

As I stepped through the geometry types, seeing if the python snippet would convert the appropriate geometry, I confirmed that it isn't seeing the "LineString" geometry. Specifying Polyline doesn't search for LineString.

Another odd thing I noticed is the tool seemed to "lock on" to a geometry type. I was using the same python

arcpy.JSONToFeatures_conversion(r"C:\Users\gmarcus\Downloads\Testing (4).json","TestJSONImportPyPolygon", 'POLYGON')

and

arcpy.JSONToFeatures_conversion(r"C:\Users\gmarcus\Downloads\Testing (4).json","TestJSONImportPyPoint", 'POINT')

but only points were converted. This didn't happen when I first ran the GP tool from the dialog box (converted to polygon by default)

It didn't happen when I ran the python command and first selected polygon.

It only occurred after I ran the python command and selected point. It's stuck on point now.

Restarting the program results in the same behavior.

Questions:

Has anyone run into this before?

Did you submit a bug request?

Can you upload a sample/example data set that demonstrates this behavior?

I changed the extension of the file from .json to .geojson and it worked as predicted. The file was organized as a geojson. I initially believed the tool would read the content of either and respond appropriately to what it found. That was not the case.
