Interface FeatureList

All Superinterfaces:

Collection, Feature, FeatureCollection, Iterable, List, ResourceCollection

All Known Subinterfaces:

FeatureDocument

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFeatureList, SubFeatureList

public interface FeatureList
extends List, FeatureCollection

An ordered List of Features.

A FeatureList is usually retrived from a FeatureCollection with the subCollection( Filter ) operation. How you ask - make use of Filter 1.1 sortBy.

You may check to see if the result of subCollection( Filter ) is a FeatureList using an instanceof check. This often the case, when using not using sortBy the order is usually based on FID.
