Page Summary
-
The
serializemethod returns the serialized representation of a Geometry object as a String. -
The method accepts an optional boolean argument
legacyto enable a legacy format. -
Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python for applying the
serializemethod and displaying the result and geometry on a map.
