Simple Features for R
Support for simple feature access, a standardized way to encode and analyze spatial vector data. Binds to 'GDAL' doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884351 for reading and writing data, to 'GEOS' doi:10.5281/zenodo.11396894 for geometrical operations, and to 'PROJ' doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884394 for projection conversions and datum transformations. Uses by default the 's2' package for geometry operations on geodetic (long/lat degree) coordinates.
