You are probably referring to GeoLatte. Had a look, not too eager to use it
at the moment:
- seems to be supported by a single company
- no real solids, there is just a polyhedral surface extra class compared
to JTS (which could
be easily built for JTS as well)
- don't see real curve support either, though there is a package talking
about curves, I don't
see the equivalent curved geometries representations
- has not had any development in the last 3 months
That said, even if we had the perfect candidate, switching the code from
assuming JTS to
using another library (or not making assumptions about the library being
used)
would require a lot of effort, almost every class building features and
using them would have
to be modified.
Which is something that can be tacked only if the change is pretty mechanic
(search & replace level)
or if there is substantial to back the switch.
