    JsonExportFlags Enumeration
    In This Topic
    Specifies the flags that control the behavior of the GeometryEngine.ExportToJson method.

    MemberDescription
    JsonExportDefaults Exports the geometry as is based on its type. Attributes such as Z and M values are exported.
    JsonExportSkipCRS Exports the geometry without the spatial reference.
    Example
    Import and Export Geometries to JSON
