geoparquet-pydantic 0.0.1

# GeoParquet-Pydantic

Motivation: This project started at the 2024 San Fransisco GeoParquet Community hackathon, and arose out of a simple observation: why must Python users install the massive GDAL dependency (typically via GeoPandas) to do simple GeoJSON<>GeoParquet conversions.

Is this library the right choice for you?: * Do you need to use a wide variety of Geospatial functions? If so, you will likely have to add GDAL/GeoPandas as a dependency anyways, making this ibrary’s conversion functions probably redundant. * Is your workflow command line centric? If so you may want to consider Planet Lab’s simular CLI tool [gpq](https://github.com/planetlabs/gpq), which is written in Go and substantially faster. * Otherwise, if you are using Python and want to avoid unnecessary bulky dependencies, this library will be a great choice!

Note: All user-exposed functions and schema classes are available at the top level (i.e., geoparquet_pydantic.validate_geoparquet_table(…)) of this library.

# Documentation is on GitHub [here](https://github.com/xaviernogueira/geoparquet-pydantic/blob/main/README.md)

# Getting Started

Install from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/geoparquet-pydantic): `bash pip install geoparquet-pydantic `

Or from source: `bash $ git clone https://github.com/xaviernogueira/geoparquet-pydantic.git $ cd geoparquet-pydantic $ pip install . `

Then import with an underscore: `python import geoparquet_pydantic `

Or just import the functions/classes you need from the top-level: `python from geoparquet_pydantic import GeometryColumnMetadata from geoparquet_pydantic import GeoParquetMetadata from geoparquet_pydantic import validate_geoparquet_table from geoparquet_pydantic import validate_geoparquet_file from geoparquet_pydantic import geojson_to_geoparquet from geoparquet_pydantic import geoparquet_to_geojson `

# Roadmap

• [ ] Make CLI file<>file functions w/ click.

• [ ] Add parrallelized Parquet read for geoparquet_pydantic.geoparquet_to_geojson().

# Contribute

We encourage contributions, feature requests, and bug reports!

Here is our recomended workflow:

• Use dev-requirements.txt to install our development dependencies.

• Make your edits using pyright as a linter.

• Use pre-commit run –all-file before commiting your work.

• If you add a new feature, we request that you add test coverage for it.

Happy coding!
