RGeo is a geospatial data library for Ruby implementing the OGC Simple Features Specification. It represents geometric objects like points, lines, and polygons, performs spatial analysis, and reads/writes WKT and WKB data used by spatial databases.

Use cases

• represent points lines and polygons in ruby
• compute intersections buffers lengths and areas of geometries
• read and write WKT and WKB spatial data
• handle spherical geometry and map projections
• build location-aware ruby applications
• model geolocation data in rails apps

When to choose

• you need standards-based geospatial geometry handling in Ruby
• your app exchanges spatial data with spatial databases like PostGIS
• you need spatial analysis operations such as buffering or intersection

When to avoid

• you need a full GIS or map rendering solution rather than a geometry library
• you are not working in Ruby
• you need advanced features requiring GEOS but cannot install native C libraries
