How does one represent MongoDB GeoJSON fields in a Mongoose Schema?
MongoDB 2.4 allows the use of GeoJSON objects and a slew of neat functions and indexes that I'd like to use. It expects GeoJSON objects to be stored in the format like: loc: { type: 'Polygon', coordinates: [[[-180.0, 10.0], [20.0, 90.0], [180.0, -5.0], [-30.0, -90.0]]] } So in Mongoose one would think the schema would be defined like: loc: { type: 'string', coordinates: [[['number']]] } But this present two problems: having a field called "type" screws up Mongoose's schema parsing because it allows defining fields in the form field: { type: , index: } etc. Mongoose does not like nested arrays.
