I have used the geopandas Python library to create a feature collection of observations. I want to pass these features into the paquo library, specifically to the load_geojson function. The documentation says that this takes a geojson list. How can I use Python to convert my feature collection into a geojson list?

A small (or smaller) example of the geojson feature collection I am working with. This is currenlty stored in a file called detections.geojson and so I would like to load it, convert it into a json list and then pass it to the paquo function.

The paquo.hierarchy.QuPathPathObjectHierarchy.load_geojson function expects a list of dictionaries, each of which must have a "geometry" key, with corresponding values parseable by shapely.geometry.shape. So the following should work:

load_geojson(detections["features"])
