I want to create a GeoJSON that contains multiple geometries to be used in QGis later on. Now I red through the specs here: http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#geometrycollection

When I simply copy and paste the GeometryCollection example into a file and add it to QGis nothing shows up.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a QGis Bug?

  • You cannot mix different geometry types in a QGIS layer (GeometryCollections = collection of different Geometries). In the case of the example, there are 2 layers: a Point layer and a LineString layer

  • would be totally fine if QGis recognices them as two layers.. Is there a way to do so?

  • Well thinking this way I can also create multiple GeoJSON files instead of a geometry collection. I just thought it is more elegant to use geometry collections instead.
