Examples
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
df = spark.createDataFrame([('POINT Z (3 4 5)',)], ['wkt'])
df.select(dbf.st_asewkt(dbf.to_geography('wkt')).alias('result')).collect()
[Row(result='SRID=4326;POINT Z (3 4 5)')]
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
df = spark.createDataFrame([('{"type":"MultiPoint","coordinates":[[3,4,5]]}',)], ['geojson'])
df.select(dbf.st_asewkt(dbf.to_geography('geojson')).alias('result')).collect()
[Row(result='SRID=4326;MULTIPOINT Z ((3 4 5))')]
