I am slowly losing my head in this problem. Context: I'm fairly new to webserver, javascript etc. so my knowledge is very limited.

It seems very simple: I want to draw Features on a Website using OpenLayers and safe them for later use on a GeoServer.

I've tried mainly posting GeoJSON using the official Importer Extension for the GeoServer, but I was stuck because it does not support GeoJSON, however GeoJSON seems to be the go to format according to OpenLayers Doc. Most importantly I want to avoid using these huge Shapefiles, which are very unhandy and unreadable.

Now I'm getting a huge overhead, because it seems like there is a simple and basic solution everyone uses, but me.

If you need any code examples of what I've done feel free, but I feel like they are not neccesary for my question.

Maybe one last thing: I am developing a prototyp for my company so it would be even better if there is a solution where I can "capsule" the website from the backend using the GeoServer REST-API for example.

Thanks in advance.
