Orb is a Go library defining types for 2D geo and plan/projected geometry, with sub-packages for GeoJSON, Mapbox Vector Tile encoding, WKB scanning, clipping, simplification, and quadtrees. It provides idiomatic slice-based geometry types with a shared Geometry interface for geo and planar operations.
Use cases
- encode and decode GeoJSON in Go
- read WKB geometry from database query results
- work with Mapbox Vector Tiles
- clip and simplify line and polygon geometry
- compute distances, areas, and centroids of shapes
- build spatial indexes with a quadtree
When to choose
- you need lightweight 2D geometry types in Go
- you're building GIS or mapping services in Go
- you need GeoJSON, WKB, WKT, or MVT interoperability
When to avoid
- you need 3D geometry support
- you need a full GIS engine with coordinate reprojection
- you're not working in Go
