DTS uses a custom extension of the GeoJson standard format for encoding geometries internally (hereafter referred to as DTSGeoJson). This is also the format in which DTS encodes output and expects input geometry data for Redis and Web Service clients.
DTS endeavors to translate the various geometry formats provided by the supported datasources to and from DTSGeoJson with as much fidelity as possible. However, DTSGeoJson is also fully backwards compatible with the standard GeoJson format and ensures that clients which are not "aware" of the DTSGeoJson extension are still able to seamlessly communicate geometry data via DTS using reasonably accurate approximations.
This section details the additions DTSGeoJson makes to the standard GeoJson and how approximations work.
For details on the standard GeoJson format, please see The GeoJson Specification.
