GeoIO.jl

Load/save geospatial data compatible with the GeoStats.jl framework.

GeoIO.jl uses various backend packages spread across different Julia organizations to load a universal representation of geospatial data as discussed in the book Geospatial Data Science with Julia.

Usage

Loading/saving data from/to disk

The load and save functions are self-explanatory:

using GeoIO

table = GeoIO.load("file.shp")

GeoIO.save("file.geojson", table)

Additional keyword arguments are forwarded to the backends:

# read `.geojson` geometries with Float64 precision
table = GeoIO.load("file.geojson", numbertype = Float64)

# force writing on existing `.shp` file
GeoIO.save("file.shp", table, force = true)

Supported formats

To see the formats supported by GeoIO.jl, use the formats function. Below is the output generated on January 3rd, 2024:
