# ST_GeomFromGeoJSON

<Note />

This method is not recommended. Please use [Sedona GeoJSON data source](/tutorials/wherobotsdb/vector-data/vector-load#load-geojson-data) to read GeoJSON files.

Construct a Geometry from GeoJson

## Signatures

```sql theme={"system"}
ST_GeomFromGeoJSON (GeoJson: String)
```

## Parameters

<ParamField body="GeoJson" type="String" required>
  A GeoJSON string representation of a geometry.
</ParamField>

## Return type

<ResponseField type="Geometry">
  The resulting geometry.
</ResponseField>

## Examples

```sql theme={"system"}
SELECT ST_GeomFromGeoJSON('{
   "type":"Feature",
   "properties":{
      "STATEFP":"01",
      "COUNTYFP":"077",
      "TRACTCE":"011501",

      "AFFGEOID":"1500000US010770115015",
      "GEOID":"010770115015",
      "NAME":"5",
      "LSAD":"BG",
      "ALAND":6844991,
      "AWATER":32636
   },
   "geometry":{
      "type":"Polygon",
      "coordinates":[
         [
            [-87.621765, 34.873444],

         ]
      ]
   }
}')
```

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

```sql theme={"system"}
SELECT ST_GeomFromGeoJSON('{
   "type":"Polygon",
   "coordinates":[
	  [
	 	 [-87.621765, 34.873444],

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