Background: I try to update the attributes of features in an ArcGIS Server Feature Service via the REST endpoint. (ApplyEdits) In an attempt to create a generic solution, I write my features to an Esri-JSON, then read the result back in as a text file and use the JSONUpdater and the JSONTemplater to create the JSON ArcGIS Server understands. My goal is to produce the following JSON:
[{
"id": 0,
"updates": [{
"attributes": {
"objectid": 1,
"attribute1": "a"
}
}, {
"attributes": {
"objectid": 2,
"attribute1": "b"
}
}]
}]
My Esri-JSON is:
{
"RecordSet" : {
"geometryType" : "esriGeometryPoint",
"spatialReference" : {
"wkid" : ""
},
"features" : [
{
"geometry" : {
"x" : 0,
"y" : 0
},
"attributes" : {
"objectid" : 1,
"attribute1" : "a"
}
},
{
"geometry" : {
"x" : 0,
"y" : 0
},
"attributes" : {
"objectid" : 2,
"attribute1" : "b"
}
}
]
}
}
Now I want to delete "geometry" as I only want to update the attributes. (I think to understand geometry is an Object, correct?) I think the correct path to geometry is:
json["RecordSet"]["features"][*]["geometry"]
But I do not understand how I get the syntax right to let the JSONUpdater delete it...
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
