Group: Geotools

The main module contains the GeoTools public interfaces that are used by other GeoTools modules (and GeoTools applications). Where possible we make use industry standard terms as provided by OGC and ISO standards. The formal GeoTools public api consists of gt-metadata, jts and the gt-main module. The main module contains the default implementations that are available provided to other GeoTools modules using our factory system. Factories are obtained from an appropriate ...

Connection to an embedded EPSG database in HSQL format. This database is built from the SQL scripts delivered by EPSG.

Group Geotools XSD

DataStore supporting the ESRI shapefile format. NG version

Group Geotools JDBC

Contains implementations of Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS), conversion and transformation services.

The api module contains the GeoTools public interfaces that are used by other GeoTools modules (and GeoTools applications). Where possible we make use of standard interfaces from projects such as GeoAPI and JTS. The formal GeoTools public api consists of this module, geoapi and jts. If you find yourself using implementations specific classes (such as new ShapefileDataStore(...) chances are you are doing it wrong.

Standard interfaces implemented throughout the library.

Contains sample data for testing purpose.

Provides GeoJSON Encoding and Parsing support.

A parser that takes a Constraint Query Language input string and produces an equivalent org.opengis.filter.Filter.

Group Geotools Schemas

Implementation of GridCoverage. Provides support for rasters and some image processing like reprojection.

ContentDataStore implementation and support classes for those implementing their own datastore.

Datasource created to read GeoTIFF raster format.

GTXML Schema Driven Parser

Contains implementations of metadata and some core utilities classes.

The render module contains a renderer built around the interface in api and main. This is a first class geotools module as creating a visual representation of features is considered key to most geospatial applications.

EPSG and AUTO authority factories are defined for data.crs.CRSService. These codes are used to provide CoordinateRegerenceSystem for GCE and DataStore implementations that do not define their own native definition. Contains a Property file based CoordinateSystemAuthority (the property file is too large to be included in the main geotools release). This class will need to be ported to the new GeoAPI CoordinateReferenceSystem interfaces.

The main module contains the key interfaces and default implementations that are used by other GeoTools modules.
