+name: bbox
+in: query
+description: |-
+  Only features that have a geometry that intersects the bounding box are selected.
+  The bounding box is provided as four numbers:
+  * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 1
+  * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 2
+  * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 1
+  * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 2
+
+  For WGS 84 longitude/latitude the values are in most cases the sequence of
+  minimum longitude, minimum latitude, maximum longitude and maximum latitude.
+  However, in cases where the box spans the antimeridian the first value
+  (west-most box edge) is larger than the third value (east-most box edge).
+  If a feature has multiple spatial geometry properties, it is the decision of the
+  server whether only a single spatial geometry property is used to determine
+  the extent or all relevant geometries.
