We are the team of interns at USGS working to add CF 1.8 simple geometry
support to THREDDS.

These geometry types are modeled after the Well-Known Text (WKT) geometry
primitives and multipart equivalents defined in the ISO/IEC 13249-3:2016
standard and include lines, multilines, and polygons.

To make THREDDS work with these new features, would it be possible /
feasible to add JTS Topology Suite, https://locationtech.github.io/jts/, as
a dependency in THREDDS and use that? JTS is an implementation of the
standard mentioned above.

Thank you for your help.
