It supports 17 format drivers (GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, GeoParquet, Shapefile, GRIB, JPEG2000, etc.), 211+ EPSG definitions, and compiles to a sub-1MB WebAssembly bundle that runs entirely in the browser. Four live browser demos showcase client-side satellite change detection, cryptographically attested terrain analysis, serverless querying of a 5.9 GB GeoParquet file, and real-time COG hillshading — all without any backend. The project is Apache-2.0, available on crates.io, and also ships Python and Node.js bindings. Known limitations include incomplete HDF5 write support, limited GeoPackage write coverage, and a curated (not full) EPSG registry, with v1.0 LTS targeted for Q4 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
