When you are working with Geometry types in Postgis, if you are using a backend with Java and others JVM compatible languages, at some point you will need to send it as GeoJSON.
I was using Play Framework, which uses FasterXML/jackson for JSON serialization, but I couldn’t find a suitable library for it. I found something but it was a bit outdated. The good news is that when it is Open Source, anything is a fork of distance 😀
I made a fork and added support to get the SRID of any Geometry. I am not sure if it support all the use cases, but the good thing about Open Source software is that anyone can do a PR to improve things.
Any new test is welcome!

Usage
After import it, you need to register the library module within the ObjectMapper instance you are going to use:
mapper.registerModule(new PostGISModule());
Then you can serialize objects:
And deserialize them:
Peace ✌
