What are the Allowed Geometry Types? about geoparquet HOT 3 CLOSED

The documentation just states that the geometry_type can be list or a single string. Does this mean we can pass the geometry_type as [Point, MultiPoint] or does it have to be a string: "Point,MultiPoint" for multiple geometries?

Each string needs to correspond to one of the allowed values, and thus a list can be used to specify multiple types like ["Point", "MultiPoint"]

Also in the md file the allowed geometry enums are not listed.

So, are we good on this one?

Closing this, since it seems like we provide enough guidance in the spec itself, but feel free to re-open if there's more we should say.

This could be a good 'sample data' that we provide, a couple geoparquet files that use multiple geometry types, that implementations can use to test against, and also provide complete examples for people.
