Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | BBox.toGeoJSONString() | String |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the BBox object.
var bBoxToGeoJSONString = bBox.toGeoJSONString();
// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.toGeoJSONString(...) =', bBoxToGeoJSONString);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: bBox');

[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `toGeoJSONString()` method converts a Geometry instance (like a BBox) into its GeoJSON string representation. This method takes a Geometry object as input. The provided examples demonstrate creating a BBox object and then applying `toGeoJSONString()` to it. The resulting string is then printed or displayed. Additional code showcases how to display this geometry on a map. The method's output is always a string.\n"]]
