Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python library for manipulation and analysis of planar geometric objects, wrapping the GEOS geometry engine. It provides a rich scalar Geometry interface plus high-performance NumPy ufuncs for vectorized operations on arrays of geometries.
Use cases
- manipulate geometric shapes in python
- compute polygon area and buffer operations
- spatial geometry analysis with numpy arrays
- check if points intersect polygons
- build gis geometry processing pipeline
- perform set operations on geometries like union and intersection
When to choose
- you need robust 2D geometry operations backed by GEOS
- you want vectorized geometry computations over NumPy arrays
- you need a mature, widely used library that integrates with the geospatial Python ecosystem
When to avoid
- you need 3D geometry or spherical/geodesic computations
- you need coordinate reference system transformations or file format I/O as the primary task
- you work outside Python
