Metadata - Get Details about Vector Data in Earth Engine

Metadata is essential data for understanding the data in detail. Earth Engine provides ee.Feature class to access the metadata for vector data.

To retrieve the metadata of a feature, you can use the getInfo() method, which returns a JSON object containing all the feature's properties. For example:

// Load a feature collection.
var fc = ee.FeatureCollection('TIGER/2018/States');

// Get a feature from the collection.
var feature = fc.first();

// Get the metadata of the feature.
var metadata = feature.getInfo();

// Print the metadata to the console.
print(metadata);

This will print the metadata of the first feature in the 'TIGER/2018/States' feature collection to the console.

// Get the geometry of the feature.
var geometry = feature.geometry();

// Print the geometry to the console.
print(geometry);
