Security Considerations

GeoJSON text sequences have no security considerations beyond those of JSON text sequences and the GeoJSON format.

Interoperability Considerations

The advantage of using ASCII character RS "0x1e" to denote a text is that sequence producers and parsers need not enforce a canonical form of GeoJSON. Any valid GeoJSON, pretty-printed or compact, can be used in a GeoJSON text sequence.

A variety of parsers designed for newline-delimited sequences of compact JSON text are deployed on the internet today. While there is no canonical form for JSON texts, and pretty-printed and compact forms are equally valid, GeoJSON text sequences containing compact GeoJSON texts with no internal newlines are more interoperable with existing non-standardized parsers.

In a distributed system where order and exactly-once delivery of messages are difficult to achieve, GeoJSON text sequences that do not rely on order of texts for extra semantics are more interoperable than those that do.
