simplefeatures
A pure Go implementation of the OpenGIS Simple Feature Access Specification for 2D geometry modeling and spatial algorithms.
What is simplefeatures?
Simple Features is a 2D geometry library for Go that provides types modeling geometric shapes (like points, lines, and polygons) and algorithms for spatial operations. It implements the OpenGIS Simple Feature Access Specification, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard libraries like GEOS, JTS, and PostGIS. The library solves the problem of performing robust geospatial computations in Go with portability and ease of use.
Go developers working with geospatial data, such as those building mapping applications, GIS tools, or services requiring spatial analysis, who need a pure Go solution or interoperability with standards like PostGIS.
Developers choose Simple Features for its pure Go implementation, which avoids CGO dependencies for core functionality while leveraging battle-tested algorithms from JTS. It offers a comprehensive set of spatial operations, serialization formats, and optional CGO wrappers for extended GEOS and PROJ integration.
