geoarrow-rs

A Rust implementation of the GeoArrow specification and bindings to GeoRust algorithms for efficient spatial operations on GeoArrow memory. This implements GeoArrow version 0.2.0.

This repository also includes Python bindings and JavaScript (WebAssembly) bindings, wrapping the GeoArrow memory layout and offering file format readers and writers and vectorized geometry operations.
