## What it is
gpxpy is a Python library for parsing, manipulating, and generating GPX (GPS eXchange Format) XML files. It supports GPX 1.0 and 1.1 and provides an object model for tracks, segments, waypoints, and routes.

## Use cases
- parse gpx files in python
- read gps track points from a gpx file
- create gpx files programmatically
- manipulate waypoints routes and tracks in gpx
- convert gpx data to xml
- extract elevation data from gps tracks

## When to choose
- you need to read or write GPX 1.0/1.1 files in Python
- you want to edit or analyze GPS track data programmatically
- you need a lightweight pure-Python GPX library

## When to avoid
- you need to parse other GPS formats like FIT or TCX
- you need strict schema-valid GPX output for edge-case fields
- you work in Go and prefer the gpxgo port

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, serialization, geospatial
- domain: files, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: gpx, gps-tracks, xml, track-manipulation, maps
