Attributes

A feature may contain multiple attributes (also known as "properties").

An attribute is a key value pair such as {species: "orchid"} (where "species" is the attribute and "orchid" is the attribute value).

Attributes should be consistent across all features in a vector layer, while their values may differ between features. For example, in one feature the value for "species" might be "orchid", and in a second feature the value might be "rose".

Visit geojson.org or geojson.io to see examples of features in GeoJSON format, one of the numerous file formats which users may upload to Strato Maps.
