WFS 2.0.0 returns JSON coordinates as [y, x]

[Pieter Provoost]

mr_features_get uses WFS 2.0.0 which will, despite the GeoJSON spec, return coordinates as [y, x]:

• http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wfs/basics.html#axis-ordering
• https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-2397

Perhaps add an option to use WFS 1.0.0?

Code example:

require(mregions)
require(wellknown)
require(jsonlite)

n <- mr_names("MarineRegions:eez")
id <- mr_names_search(n, "Belgian")$id[1]
jsonstr <- mr_features_get("MarineRegions:eez", id, format = "json")
json <- fromJSON(jsonstr, simplifyVector = FALSE, simplifyDataFrame = FALSE)
wkt <- geojson2wkt(json$features[[1]]$geometry)

WFS calls:

• http://geo.vliz.be/geoserver/MarineRegions/wfs?typeNames=MarineRegions:eez&featureID=eez.189&service=wfs&request=getFeature&version=2.0.0&outputFormat=json
• http://geo.vliz.be/geoserver/MarineRegions/wfs?typeNames=MarineRegions:eez&featureID=eez.189&service=wfs&request=getFeature&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=json
