Description

The Geo JSON parser throws an exception when trying to parse an array of strings, which is somewhat common in some free geojson services like https://whosonfirst.org

An example file can be seen at https://data.whosonfirst.org/101/748/479/101748479.geojson

This fixes the parser to also parse a string array.
