Good point, Ken.
Maybe even better would be toWKT() and toWKB() methods - that would be very explicit about what is being returned.

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!
