What are the differences between two different values of the FeatureType?

In Java, FeatureType usually refers to an enumeration or class that describes types of geographic or other objects with specific characteristics. The differences between two FeatureType values lie in the set of attributes and behaviors they represent. For example, one value might describe a point object (Point), while another describes a linear (LineString) or polygonal (Polygon) object.

Each FeatureType value defines a data structure that can be used to store and process the corresponding type of objects. This affects the methods that can be applied and the way data is visualized or analyzed.

Example (simplified):

enum FeatureType {
    POINT,    // point object with x,y coordinates
    LINE,     // linear object with a set of points
    POLYGON   // closed polygon
}

FeatureType feature1 = FeatureType.POINT;
FeatureType feature2 = FeatureType.POLYGON;

// feature1 and feature2 differ in structure and processing capabilities
