vapour: Access to the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' ('GDAL')
Provides low-level access to 'GDAL' functionality. 'GDAL' is the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' a translator for raster and vector geospatial data formats that presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats <https://gdal.org/>. This package is focussed on providing exactly and only what GDAL does, to enable developing further tools.
