GeoZero
Zero-Copy reading and writing of geospatial data.
GeoZero defines an API for reading geospatial data formats without an intermediate representation. It defines traits which can be implemented to read and convert to an arbitrary format or render geometries directly.
Supported geometry types:
- OGC Simple Features
- Circular arcs as defined by SQL-MM Part 3
- TIN
Supported dimensions: X, Y, Z, M, T
Available implementations
- GeoJSON Reader + Writer
- GEOS Reader + Writer
- GDAL geometry Reader + Writer
- WKB Reader + Writer supporting
- PostGIS geometries for rust-postgres, SQLx and Diesel.
- GeoPackage geometries for SQLx
- WKT Reader + Writer
- CSV Reader + Writer
- GeoArrow WKB reader
- SVG Writer
- geo-types Reader + Writer
- MVT (Mapbox Vector Tiles) Reader + Writer
- GPX Reader
- Shapefile Reader
- FlatGeobuf Reader

Conversion API
Convert a GeoJSON polygon to geo-types and calculate centroid:
let geojson = GeoJson(r#"{"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[0, 0], [10, 0], [10, 6], [0, 6], [0, 0]]]}"#);
if let Ok(Geometry::Polygon(poly)) = geojson.to_geo() {
assert_eq!(poly.centroid().unwrap(), Point::new(5.0, 3.0));
}
Full source code: geo_types.rs
Convert GeoJSON to a GEOS prepared geometry:
let geojson = GeoJson(r#"{"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[0, 0], [10, 0], [10, 6], [0, 6], [0, 0]]]}"#);
let geom = geojson.to_geos().expect("GEOS conversion failed");
let prepared_geom = geom.to_prepared_geom().expect("to_prepared_geom failed");
let geom2 = geos::Geometry::new_from_wkt("POINT (2.5 2.5)").expect("Invalid geometry");
assert_eq!(prepared_geom.contains(&geom2), Ok(true));

Read FlatGeobuf subset as GeoJSON:
let mut file = BufReader::new(File::open("countries.fgb")?);
let mut fgb = FgbReader::open(&mut file)?.select_bbox(8.8, 47.2, 9.5, 55.3)?;
println!("{}", fgb.to_json()?);

Read FlatGeobuf data as geo-types geometries and calculate label position with polylabel-rs:
let mut file = BufReader::new(File::open("countries.fgb")?);
let mut fgb = FgbReader::open(&mut file)?.select_all()?;
while let Some(feature) = fgb.next()? {
let name: String = feature.property("name").unwrap();
if let Ok(Geometry::MultiPolygon(mpoly)) = feature.to_geo() {
if let Some(poly) = &mpoly.0.iter().next() {
let label_pos = polylabel(&poly, &0.10).unwrap();
println!("{name}: {label_pos:?}");
}
}
}

PostGIS usage examples
Select and insert geo-types geometries with rust-postgres:
let mut client = Client::connect(&std::env::var("DATABASE_URL").unwrap(), NoTls)?;
let row = client.query_one(
"SELECT 'SRID=4326;POLYGON ((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'::geometry",
&[],
)?;
let value: wkb::Decode<geo_types::Geometry<f64>> = row.get(0);
if let Some(geo_types::Geometry::Polygon(poly)) = value.geometry {
assert_eq!(
*poly.exterior(),
vec![(0.0, 0.0), (2.0, 0.0), (2.0, 2.0), (0.0, 2.0), (0.0, 0.0)].into()
);
}
// Insert geometry
let geom: geo_types::Geometry<f64> = geo::Point::new(1.0, 3.0).into();
let _ = client.execute(
"INSERT INTO point2d (datetimefield,geom) VALUES(now(),ST_SetSRID($1,4326))",
&[&wkb::Encode(geom)],
);
Select and insert geo-types geometries with SQLx:
let pool = PgPoolOptions::new()
.max_connections(5)
.connect(&env::var("DATABASE_URL").unwrap())
.await?;
let row: (wkb::Decode<geo_types::Geometry<f64>>,) =
sqlx::query_as("SELECT 'SRID=4326;POLYGON ((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'::geometry")
.fetch_one(&pool)
.await?;
let value = row.0;
if let Some(geo_types::Geometry::Polygon(poly)) = value.geometry {
assert_eq!(
*poly.exterior(),
vec![(0.0, 0.0), (2.0, 0.0), (2.0, 2.0), (0.0, 2.0), (0.0, 0.0)].into()
);
}
// Insert geometry
let geom: geo_types::Geometry<f64> = geo::Point::new(10.0, 20.0).into();
let _ = sqlx::query(
"INSERT INTO point2d (datetimefield,geom) VALUES(now(),ST_SetSRID($1,4326))",
)
.bind(wkb::Encode(geom))
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
Using compile-time verification requires type overrides:
let _ = sqlx::query!(
"INSERT INTO point2d (datetimefield, geom) VALUES(now(), $1::geometry)",
wkb::Encode(geom) as _
)
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
struct PointRec {
pub geom: wkb::Decode<geo_types::Geometry<f64>>,
pub datetimefield: Option<OffsetDateTime>,
}
let rec = sqlx::query_as!(
PointRec,
r#"SELECT datetimefield, geom as "geom!: _" FROM point2d"#
)
.fetch_one(&pool)
.await?;
assert_eq!(
rec.geom.geometry.unwrap(),
geo::Point::new(10.0, 20.0).into()
);
