Description

When saving vector in GeojSON with "id" field this field is removed from output file. To reproduce:

  1. open any vector in GeojSON format with "id" field (sample layer attached)
  1. save this layer with "Save as..." from context menu in GeojSON format
  1. Open created file and find that "id" field is removed

​GeojSON specification says that "If a feature has a commonly used identifier, that identifier should be included as a member of the feature object with the name "id"."

Confirm. I have a lot of GeoJSON files with "id" member and it is too inconvenient to lose this property while editing file.

This seems to be a restriction of OGR's GeoJSON driver.

I have just removed the limitation from the OGR GeoJSON driver ( ​http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/21350 ). Will available in GDAL/OGR 1.8.0. Don't hesitate to report bugs/enhancement requests to GDAL/OGR trac when appropriate
