I have created a geojson file from nine features drawn from a postgis database. I have tried all the examples from the community pages with no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

JsonTempater Geometry template usage

You can do this with a simple PostGIS to GeoJSON workspace, with the GeoJSON writer option ‘File Structure’ set to ‘Array of FeatureCollection objects - one per feature type’.

I should have said I’m trying the create a geojson. It writes out but this geometry template doesn’t do anything.

Finally, here is the workbench. Can someone have a look and see what i am doing wrong. I am trying to include the geometry in the output geojsn file but none of the examples i have tried when configuring the geometry template in the JSONTemplater have worked.

Is there a reason you want/need to use the Templator as opposed to just the GeoJSON Writer? Does FME not create the correct structure from your featuers?

I have a dataset that has multiple features and I was hoping to generate one json file instead of one for each feature.

Working with the geometry template can be quite complex. You can see more information on it at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/XQuery/XQuery_functions.htm. It would be a lot easier to use the GeometryExtractor to extract the geometry as GeoJSON, then insert that attribute into the template using:
"geometry" :fme:get-json-attribute("_geometry")
