GeoTiff.js
A pure JavaScript library for parsing and reading raster data from TIFF and GeoTIFF files in both browser and Node.js environments.
What is GeoTiff.js?
geotiff.js is a pure JavaScript library for parsing TIFF and GeoTIFF files, providing access to metadata and raw raster data. It solves the problem of reading and analyzing geospatial imagery and scientific data directly in the browser or Node.js without native dependencies.
Developers working with geospatial data, remote sensing, scientific visualization, or any application requiring TIFF file parsing in JavaScript environments.
It offers a lightweight, dependency-free solution with broad format support, performance optimizations like worker pools, and the flexibility to handle custom data workflows, unlike heavier GIS libraries.
Overview
geotiff.js is a small library to parse TIFF files for visualization or analysis. It is written in pure JavaScript, and is usable in both the browser and node.js applications.
