```
A multilinestring is an array of LineString coordinate arrays.
This adheres to the RFC 7946 internet standard when serialized into JSON. When deserialized, this class becomes an immutable object which should be initiated using its static factory methods.
When representing a LineString that crosses the antimeridian, interoperability is improved by modifying their geometry. Any geometry that crosses the antimeridian SHOULD be represented by cutting it in two such that neither part's representation crosses the antimeridian.
For example, a line extending from 45 degrees N, 170 degrees E across the antimeridian to 45 degrees N, 170 degrees W should be cut in two and represented as a MultiLineString.
A sample GeoJson MultiLineString's provided below (in it's serialized state).
```
 {
   "type": "MultiLineString",
   "coordinates": [
     [
       [100.0, 0.0],
       [101.0, 1.0]
     ],
     [
       [102.0, 2.0],
       [103.0, 3.0]
     ]
   ]
 }
 
```
Look over the LineString documentation to get more information about formatting your list of linestring objects correctly.
