GeoParquet is an OGC-incubating specification for storing geospatial vector data (points, lines, polygons) in Apache Parquet, including required metadata and JSON schemas for validation. The repository hosts the spec, examples, and validation tooling to enable interoperable cloud-native geospatial workflows.

Use cases

store vector geodata in parquet
convert geo to geoparquet
validate geoparquet files
share spatial data with cloud data warehouses
build cloud-native gis pipelines
read geospatial columns in pandas or qgis

When to choose

you need a standard, interoperable format for vector data in Parquet
your workflows span tools like GeoPandas, QGIS, Snowflake, or BigQuery
you want columnar, cloud-native storage for large geospatial datasets

When to avoid

you need raster imagery rather than vector geometries
you require a live database with spatial indexing and queries rather than a file format
your toolchain has no Parquet support
