Pyogrio provides a GeoPandas-oriented API to OGR vector data sources,
|
|
such as ESRI Shapefile, GeoPackage, and GeoJSON. Vector data sources
|
|
have geometries, such as points, lines, or polygons, and associated
|
|
records with potentially many columns worth of data.
|
|
|
|
Pyogrio uses a vectorized approach for reading and writing GeoDataFrames
|
|
to and from OGR vector data sources in order to give you faster
|
|
interoperability. It uses pre-compiled bindings for GDAL/OGR so that the
|
|
performance is primarily limited by the underlying I/O speed of data
|
|
source drivers in GDAL/OGR rather than multiple steps of converting to
|
|
and from Python data types within Python.
