# GeoJSON format requirements for territory geographies

# GeoJSON format requirements for territory geographies {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 28, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
GeoJSON format requirements define the structure, geometry types, and coordinate rules that territory geographies must follow.

## Geography types {#geojson-format-requirements__section_geography_types}

The Geography Type field on the Territory Geography \[sn_tp_territory_geography\] table determines how the system uses GeoJSON.  
{#geojson-format-requirements__table_geography_types__entry__3}

| Value | Label | Behavior |
|-|-|-|
| `geojson` | GeoJSON | You provide the GeoJSON directly. This is the default geography type. |
| `composite` | Composite Geography | The system generates the GeoJSON automatically by merging multiple referenced geographies into a single MultiPolygon. Before merging, the system approximates each circle as a 64-point polygon. |
| `matching_attributes` | Matching Attributes | The territory uses ZIP code, city, state, or country attributes for matching instead of GeoJSON. The system skips GeoJSON validation for this geography type. |
[Table 1. Geography types]

{#geojson-format-requirements__table_geography_types}

When you select GeoJSON in the Geography Type field, make sure that the content of the GeoJSON field meets the requirements. This applies whether you import a
GeoJSON file or paste the GeoJSON directly.

## Required top-level structure {#geojson-format-requirements__section_required_top_level_structure}

GeoJSON must be wrapped in a FeatureCollection at the top level.

    {
      "type": "FeatureCollection",
      "features": [
        {
          "type": "Feature",
          "geometry": { ... },
          "properties": { }
        }
      ]
    }

* Set `type` to `FeatureCollection`. This value is case-sensitive.
* Include at least one Feature object in the `features` array.
* Give each Feature a `type` of `Feature`, a `geometry` object, and a `properties` object.
{#geojson-format-requirements__ul_required_top_level_structure}

## Supported geometry types {#geojson-format-requirements__section_supported_geometry_types}

Territory geographies support the Polygon, MultiPolygon, and Point (circle) geometry types.  
{#geojson-format-requirements__table_supported_geometry_types__entry__3}

| Geometry type | Description | Structure |
|-|-|-|
| Polygon | A single closed polygon shape. | { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat] ] ] } |
| MultiPolygon | Multiple separate polygon regions. | { "type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat] ] ], [ [ [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat], [lng, lat] ] ] ] } |
| Point (circle) | A center point with a radius in meters, which represents a circle. Add the `radius` property to the `properties` object. The radius must be a number in meters. | { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [lng, lat] }, "properties": { "radius": 5000 } } |
[Table 2. Supported geometry types]

{#geojson-format-requirements__table_supported_geometry_types}

## Unsupported GeoJSON types {#geojson-format-requirements__section_unsupported_geojson_types}

Territory geographies accept only the Polygon, MultiPolygon, and Point (circle) geometry types. The following standard GeoJSON geometry types aren't recognized:

* LineString
* MultiLineString
* MultiPoint
* GeometryCollection
{#geojson-format-requirements__ul_unsupported_geojson_types}

## Coordinate rules {#geojson-format-requirements__section_coordinate_rules}

* Enter each coordinate as `[longitude, latitude]`, with exactly two numeric values.
* Use a longitude value from -180 through 180.
* Use a latitude value from -90 through 90.
* Include at least four coordinate pairs in each linear ring of a Polygon or MultiPolygon.
* Close each ring by making the first and last coordinates identical.
{#geojson-format-requirements__ul_coordinate_rules}

## Multi-feature constraints {#geojson-format-requirements__section_multi_feature_constraints}

* A FeatureCollection can contain multiple Polygon and MultiPolygon features.
* A FeatureCollection can contain only one Point (circle) feature.
* A FeatureCollection can contain either a circle or polygons, not both.
