David Smith f81e6e3a53 Refs #36485 -- Rewrapped docs to 79 columns line length.
Lines in the docs files were manually adjusted to conform to the
79 columns limit per line (plus newline), improving readability and
consistency across the content.

``GeoJSON`` Serializer
======================
.. module:: django.contrib.gis.serializers.geojson
:synopsis: Serialization of GeoDjango models in the GeoJSON format.
GeoDjango provides a specific serializer for the `GeoJSON`__ format. See
:doc:`/topics/serialization` for more information on serialization.
__ https://geojson.org/
The ``geojson`` serializer is not meant for round-tripping data, as it has no
deserializer equivalent. For example, you cannot use :djadmin:`loaddata` to
reload the output produced by this serializer. If you plan to reload the
outputted data, use the plain :ref:`json serializer
<serialization-formats-json>` instead.
In addition to the options of the ``json`` serializer, the ``geojson``
serializer accepts the following additional option when it is called by
``serializers.serialize()``:
* ``geometry_field``: A string containing the name of a geometry field to use
for the ``geometry`` key of the GeoJSON feature. This is only needed when you
have a model with more than one geometry field and you don't want to use the
first defined geometry field (by default, the first geometry field is
picked).
* ``id_field``: A string containing the name of a field to use for the ``id``
key of the GeoJSON feature. By default, the primary key of objects is used.
* ``srid``: The SRID to use for the ``geometry`` content. Defaults to 4326
(WGS 84).
The :ref:`fields <subset-of-fields>` option can be used to limit fields that
will be present in the ``properties`` key, as it works with all other
serializers.
Example::
from django.core.serializers import serialize
from my_app.models import City
serialize("geojson", City.objects.all(), geometry_field="point", fields=["name"])
Would output::
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"id": 1,
"geometry": {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [-87.650175, 41.850385]},
"properties": {"name": "Chicago"},
}
],
}
When the ``fields`` parameter is not specified, the ``geojson`` serializer adds
a ``pk`` key to the ``properties`` dictionary with the primary key of the
object as the value.
