GeoPandas API for Parquet file format.

Project description

GeoParquet for Python is a GeoPandas API designed to facilitate fast input/output of GIS data in the open source Parquet file format.

The project is currently a proof of concept.

Why is this project needed? The GIS community currently lacks a fast, efficient, open-source file format for persisting and sharing data with. The purpose of the GeoParquet project is to develop such a file format.

How does it work? The GeoParquet file format is simple adaptation of the existing Parquet file format: geometries are stored as well-known binary (WKB), and the coordinate reference system is stored as a PROJ string in the file's metadata.
