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.
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)To see the formats supported by GeoIO.jl, use the formats function.
