GeoTools is an open source Java library providing standards-compliant tools for working with geospatial data, implementing Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications. It supports many data formats such as shapefiles, PostGIS, GeoJSON, and spatial databases, and is used to build GIS applications, web map servers, and web feature servers.
Use cases
- read and write shapefiles in java
- connect to postgis from a java application
- parse geojson in java
- build a web map server in java
- reproject map coordinates between crs
- render a shapefile on screen
- query spatial data with ogc filters
When to choose
- you need a mature, OGC-compliant Java toolkit for geospatial data manipulation
- you are building GIS applications, WMS/WFS servers, or desktop mapping tools on the JVM
- you need broad format support including shapefile, PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, and GeoJSON
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight non-JVM or scripting solution like GDAL or GeoPandas
- you want a ready-to-use end-user GIS application rather than a code library
- your project cannot accept LGPL-licensed dependencies
