I think that it's reasonable that the methods toString and toText are
the same, but the toString output shouldn't be relied on for WKT
representations--typically toString contains whatever the author of the
API feels is useful to know about the object and its format may change
in future implementations unless the JavaDoc defines and commits to
maintain a given format into the future. The toText is expected conform
to the WKT format

Hello All,
I'm just looking for a little clarification on converting a Geometry
to it's WKT representation. It looks to me like Geometry#toString and
Geometry#toText produce the same result. Is there any reason to use
one over the other? Given both these return the WKT, why would one
choose to use the WKTWriter#write method?
Thanks!
