Crate h3o 

The h3o library implements the H3 geospatial indexing system.

H3 is a geospatial indexing system using a hexagonal grid that can be (approximately) subdivided into finer and finer hexagonal grids, combining the benefits of a hexagonal grid with S2’s hierarchical subdivisions.

Crate features

• std - When enabled, this will cause h3o to use the standard library. In terms of APIs, std causes error types to implement the std::error::Error trait. Enabling std will also result in performance optimizations.

• geo - When enabled, you’ll be able to convert lists of H3 cell indexes from and into geometric shapes. Also enables the GeoJSON support. Requires std.

• serde - When enabled, H3 index types (cell, vertex and edge) derive serde traits.
