Apache SIS is a Java language library for developing geospatial
applications. SIS provides data structures for geographic features and
associated metadata along with methods to manipulate those data
structures, such as map projections. The library is an implementation of
GeoAPI 3.0 interfaces and can be used for desktop or server
applications. A JavaFX application is provided for demonstration purposes.
Some Apache SIS features are:
* Read netCDF-3, Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (including BigTIFF) and
Moving Feature CSV data formats
* Read/write GPX, ASCII Grid, World File, ISO 19115-3 metadata and
legacy ISO 19139 compliant XML documents
* Leverage Cloud Optimized formats (GeoTIFF) for smaller downloads
from HTTP and Amazon S3 storage service
* Optionally use the GDAL library for two-dimensional raster formats
not supported by Apache SIS.
* Referencing by coordinates (ISO 19111) or by identifiers (ISO 19112)
o Well Known Text (WKT) version 1 and 2 (ISO 19162)
o Geographic Markup Language (GML) version 3.2 (ISO 19136)
o Geodetic objects and operations from EPSG geodetic dataset
o Mercator, Lambert, stereographic and more map projections
o Geohashes and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)
* Units of measurement
o JSR-385 with parsing, formating and unit conversion functionalities
* Processing
o Multi-threaded raster reprojection
o Multi-threaded isolines computation from raster data
o Filtering of features (ISO 19143 conceptual model)
