Also available for Python and for Java. Why GeoDesk? - Small storage footprint — GeoDesk's GOL files are only 20% to 50% larger than the original OSM data in PBF format — that's less than a tenth of the storage consumed by a traditional SQL-based database. - Fast queries — typically 50 times faster than SQL. - Fast to get started — Converting .osm.pbf data to a GOL is 20 times faster than an import into an SQL database. Alternatively, download pre-made data tiles for just the regions you need and automatically assemble them into a GOL. - Intuitive API — No need for object-relational mapping; GeoDesk queries return lightweight C++ objects. Quickly discover tags, way-nodes and relation members. Get a feature's geometry, measure its length/area. - Proper handling of relations — (Traditional geospatial databases deal with geometric shapes and require workarounds to support this unique and powerful aspect of OSM data.) - Optional integration with GEOS for advanced geometric operations, such as buffer, union, simplify, convex and concave hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and much more. - Modest hardware requirements — any 64-bit Windows, Linux or MacOS system will run GeoDesk. - Lightweight — the full query engine adds less than 250 KB and has no link-time dependencies. It runs entirely in-process, no database server required. Get Started Requirements - CMake 3","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/clarisma","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/clarisma/libgeodesk/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
