    ]
}

I would like to import this geojson to my code editor on Google Earth Engine. Looking in the docs (assets manager), GEE accepts assets as raster images, shapefiles (.shp, shx, dbf, prj).

Also, I found the import to feature collection via fusion tables, but it still needs shapefiles.

I have found some geojson to shapefile conversors, though I need a way to directly import my geojson to a feature collection on GEE. Is that possible?

You can also import GeoJSON geometry objects directly into either the JavaScript or Python API using, for example, this format for a MultiPolygon:

feature_geometry = {
  "type": "MultiPolygon",
  'coordinates": [
    [
      [
        [-120, 35],
        [-120.001, 35],
        [-120.001, 35.001],
        [-120, 35.001],
        [-120, 35]
      ]
    ]
  ]
}

Both hash maps (i.e., dictionaries) are identical to the GeoJSON specification (source):

{
  "type": "MultiPolygon",
  "coordinates": [
    [
      [
        [-120, 35],
        [-120.001, 35],
        [-120.001, 35.001],
        [-120, 35.001],
        [-120, 35]
      ]
    ]
  ]
}

Of course, you can also read this data in from a GeoJSON file (Python example shown):

import json
data = json.loads(geojson_file)

For a simple Python wrapper, there is the pygeoj library, but JSON data is handled well natively in Python and of course in JavaScript.
