Difference between GeoShape query with WKT/geojson

Hi,

I was wondering that if I’m storing spatial data in geojson format in opensearch. And querying it using geo shape query but rather than providing geojson format to the query I’m providing shape in WKT format, will it have any impact on the query? Like will it work as expected or will return wrong result.

I’ve tried this with some sample data and it works as expected but still want to ensure that it will work perfectly or might cause some issue.

Here’s the code:

PUT test-index
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "geometry": {
        "type": "geo_shape"
      }
    }
  }
}
