I see..

But I'm a little surprised that nobody has ever raised this issue before. In other words: am I misusing WFS, trying to push it too far off the standard?

Thanks
Milton

    Hey there, how are you guys doing?

    I was playing around with WFS GetFeature requests of the sort:
    
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=topp:states&bbox=32,-84,33,-83

    With regular GML output, a full description of each selected
    feature is
    given, including its typename (in this case, "topp:states").
    However, if
    we specify OUTPUTFORMAT=JSON, then we receive a nice JSON
    description of
    the feature, but no typename information! The selected feature does
    indeed have a "type" attribute, but it says "Feature":


The GeoJSON specification is here, and has no typename:
http://www.geojson.org/geojson-spec.html

OGC still does not recognize GeoJSON as a valid spec (you may notice no OGC standard uses it) so there are no guidelines about using it with WFS or any other service.

That said, JSON is not based on schemas, so theoretically we would be free to add an extra attribute
for the type name.

Cheers
Andrea
