What do you expect the callback to return?

[Chris-Stevenson-Git]

So this is the response from a non binary tile. The tile's content has an array of 86 polygons each with their geometry and properties.

And on the binary tiles, content is split up so that the properties of my polygons are separated into string and numeric values across properties and numericProps. This wouldn't be such an issue except in my example, my polygons have IDs which are all just dumped into an array called 'id' with no way to now know which ID relates to which polygon or it's other properties.

I expect the callback to return the numeric and string properties together, or at least in such a way that I can again link them together if necessary

The binary format is designed to be friendly with WebGL, not humans.

• If you wish to see GeoJSON data, then set binary: false.
• If you want to use binary, you can convert it back to GeoJSON using binaryToGeoJson from @loaders.gl/gis docs
