What is sf?
sf handles vector spatial data in R, representing points, lines, and polygons, such as store locations or country boundaries. It's built around simple features, a standard format for representing spatial data used across many GIS tools beyond just R. It's the modern standard for vector geospatial work in R, having replaced the older sp package.
