Description

The GeoJSON specification provides for Feature and FeatureCollection objects to have an [`id`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.2) member alongside (but not within) the `properties` member. This library currently adds an `_id` member to the `properties` object, but we should transition it over to the standard `id` member. The filter would compare `$id` instead of `_id`.

Research direction

Start by locating where the library adds `_id` to GeoJSON properties and where the filter compares `_id`. Trace Feature and FeatureCollection output and the filter path, then verify that the standard top-level `id` member and `$id` comparison are used consistently.
