## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: geospatial, parser, serialization
- domain: web-development
- platform: ruby, jvm, cross-platform
- tags: ogc-simple-features, wkt, wkb, geolocation, spatial-analysis, geos, spherical-geometry, geospatial, maps
