Fiona is designed to be simple and dependable. It focuses on reading
|
|
|
|
|
and writing data in standard Python IO style, and relies upon familiar
|
|
|
|
|
Python types and protocols such as files, dictionaries, mappings, and
|
|
|
|
|
iterators instead of classes specific to OGR. Fiona can read and write
|
|
|
|
|
real-world data using multi-layered GIS formats and zipped virtual
|
|
|
|
|
file systems and integrates readily with other Python GIS packages
|
|
|
|
|
such as pyproj, Rtree and Shapely.
