GeoPandas

GeoPandas is an open-source library that extends the capabilities of pandas by allowing spatial operations on geometric types. It simplifies working with geospatial data by enabling the use of familiar data structures like GeoSeries and GeoDataFrame, which store and manipulate vector-based geographic information. Through its integration with libraries like Shapely and PyGEOS, it allows you to perform complex geometric operations such as spatial joins, projections, and distance calculations using straightforward syntax.
