GeometryOps.jl: Building a Comprehensive Native Geometry Package
Rafael Schouten, Skylar Gering, Anshul Singhvi
There is no native Julia geometry package equivalent to Python’s Shapely or R’s sf. The driving idea behind GeometryOps.jl is to unify existing native geometry packages, develop functionalities that only exist in non-native wrapper packages, and make algorithms usable with various geometric representations through GeoInterface.jl. Initial benchmarks show speedups over widely used wrapper library LibGEOS.jl: 2x for polygon area, 7x for polygon intersection, and 10x for point-to-polygon distance.
