## What it is
MovingPandas is a Python library for movement data exploration and analysis, providing trajectory data structures built on Pandas, GeoPandas, and HoloViz. It supports creating trajectories from CSVs, GIS formats, and MF-JSON, plus stop detection, trip splitting, generalization, cleaning, and static/interactive visualization.

## Use cases
- analyze GPS tracking data in Python
- detect stops in trajectories
- split trajectories into trips
- generalize or smooth trajectory data
- plot trajectories interactively
- compute speed and direction from movement data
- aggregate trajectories to find patterns

## When to choose
- you need trajectory data structures and analysis on top of GeoPandas
- you work with GPS, AIS, animal tracking, or other movement datasets
- you want stop detection, generalization, or Kalman smoothing out of the box
- you need static or interactive trajectory visualizations in Python

## When to avoid
- you need real-time streaming trajectory processing at scale
- your data has no spatial or temporal component
- you need a GUI-based GIS tool rather than a Python library
- you work outside the Python/GeoPandas ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
