Extensions

GeoDataFrames depends on (Arch)GDAL to load and save data by default. However, for several file formats, there now exist native Julia packages that can be used as backends. Before using the native backend for specific file format, you must install and load its corresponding package.

Keyword arguments passed to `read` and `write` when using these native backends differ from those when using the ArchGDAL backend. Please refer to the documentation of the corresponding package for details.

GeoJSON

using Pkg
Pkg.add("GeoJSON")

GeoArrow

using Pkg
Pkg.add("GeoArrow")

GeoParquet

using Pkg
Pkg.add("GeoParquet")

Shapefile

using Pkg
Pkg.add("Shapefile")

See the File formats section for more details on the supported file formats and their corresponding native backends.
