versatiles_geometry

Geometric data structures and utilities for the VersaTiles ecosystem.

Overview

versatiles_geometry provides the geometric data handling layer for VersaTiles, including primitives for working with points, lines, and polygons, as well as support for GeoJSON and Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT).

This crate is essential for reading, transforming, and exporting geospatial vector data.

Features

• Geometry Primitives: Core geometric types including Point, LineString, Polygon, and MultiPolygon
• GeoJSON Support: Parse and serialize GeoJSON and newline-delimited GeoJSON (NDGeoJSON)
• Vector Tiles: Read and write Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) protobuf format
• Tile Outlines: Generate polygonal outlines from tile bounding boxes
• Transformations: Convert between different geometric representations

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
versatiles_geometry = "2.3"

Example

use versatiles_geometry::{
    geo::{Point, Polygon},
    geojson::GeoJson,
    vector_tile::VectorTile,
};

// Create geometric primitives
let point = Point::new(13.4, 52.5);

// Parse GeoJSON
let geojson_str = r#"{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [13.4, 52.5]}"#;
let geojson = GeoJson::from_str(geojson_str)?;

// Work with vector tiles (MVT)
let mvt_data: Vec<u8> = /* ... */;
let tile = VectorTile::from_bytes(&mvt_data)?;
