Additional Information

The GeoJSON parser used in ArcGIS Pro uses quotes to indicate text values. Properties have no 'type' in GeoJSON, and when the value for a property has a quote, the value contains characters which requires a string. Users are unable to process all values to see if they only contain numbers to make numeric fields. For better performance the schema is set before parsing all records, to efficiently write data into the new feature class. Post processing would be required to transform the string fields into numeric fields using a basic Calculate Fields (multiple) operation to make all desired string fields numeric (calculated into new fields).
