I see that the ares-alpha map editor can export and save to json files. I've drawn up my field in Google My Maps, so I thought that I might be able to import some of the features from that map. Google My Maps lets you export to kml/kmz or csv. I've done both of those, then brought the data into QGIS version 3.22.3 QGIS is able to open and draw the data. For the csv file I told it that it was in the EPSG 3857 coordinate reference system.

Anyways, then I exported my lines as a geojson file. I went over to ares-alpha web map and hit the "Import" button. It only accepts .json files. Which is fine, I to back to my geojson file and save it as a .json. I tried to import it. Ares-alpha reports "Invalid map file."

So, does anyone know if there is some changes I should make to my process so that it will be able to import? As I said, I tried exporting both a kml and a csv from Google. QGIS is happy with both, but Ares is not. Here is the json string that QGIS exports:
