Rasterio is a Python library for reading and writing geospatial raster datasets such as GeoTIFF, built on GDAL and exposing an N-D array (NumPy) based API. It also ships command-line tools for common raster operations.
Use cases
- read geotiff into numpy array
- write raster data to tiff
- reproject satellite imagery
- get crs and transform of a raster file
- batch process raster datasets from the command line
- clip and mask raster imagery
When to choose
- you need Pythonic access to GDAL raster formats with NumPy arrays
- you want prebuilt binaries without manually installing GDAL
- you're doing remote sensing or GIS raster processing pipelines
When to avoid
- you need vector/feature geospatial data (use GeoPandas/Shapely instead)
- you need full access to every GDAL driver or advanced GDAL APIs
- you work outside the Python ecosystem
