topojson for Python
A Python library for encoding spatial data into the TopoJSON format, reducing file sizes through topology computation and simplification.
What is topojson for Python?
Topojson is a Python library that encodes spatial data into the TopoJSON format, a compact representation that reduces file sizes by computing topology and simplifying geometries. It solves the problem of large spatial datasets by eliminating redundant coordinates and enabling efficient storage and transmission for web mapping and analysis.
Geospatial developers, data scientists, and GIS professionals working with Python who need to optimize spatial data for web visualization, reduce storage costs, or improve data transfer performance.
Developers choose Topojson for its ability to drastically reduce spatial data size through topological encoding and simplification while preserving relationships between features, offering a Python-native alternative to JavaScript-based TopoJSON tools.
