# ST_GeomFromGeoJSON

!!!note
	This method is not recommended. Please use [Sedona GeoJSON data source](../../../tutorial/sql.md#load-geojson-data) to read GeoJSON files.

Introduction: Construct a Geometry from GeoJson

Format: `ST_GeomFromGeoJSON (GeoJson: String)`

Return type: `Geometry`

Since: `v1.0.0`

SQL Example

```sql
SELECT ST_GeomFromGeoJSON('{
   "type":"Feature",
   "properties":{
      "STATEFP":"01",
      "COUNTYFP":"077",
      "TRACTCE":"011501",
      "BLKGRPCE":"5",
      "AFFGEOID":"1500000US010770115015",
      "GEOID":"010770115015",
      "NAME":"5",
      "LSAD":"BG",
      "ALAND":6844991,
      "AWATER":32636
   },
   "geometry":{
      "type":"Polygon",
      "coordinates":[
         [
            [-87.621765, 34.873444],
            [-87.617535, 34.873369],
            [-87.62119, 34.85053],
            [-87.62144, 34.865379],
            [-87.621765, 34.873444]
         ]
      ]
   }
}')
```

Output:

```
POLYGON ((-87.621765 34.873444, -87.617535 34.873369, -87.62119 34.85053, -87.62144 34.865379, -87.621765 34.873444))
```

SQL Example

```sql
SELECT ST_GeomFromGeoJSON('{
   "type":"Polygon",
   "coordinates":[
	  [
	 	 [-87.621765, 34.873444],
 		 [-87.617535, 34.873369],
		 [-87.62119, 34.85053],
		 [-87.62144, 34.865379],
		 [-87.621765, 34.873444]
	  ]
   ]
}')
```

Output:

```
POLYGON ((-87.621765 34.873444, -87.617535 34.873369, -87.62119 34.85053, -87.62144 34.865379, -87.621765 34.873444))
```

	The way that SedonaSQL reads GeoJSON is different from that in SparkSQL
