This repository defines a [specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/) for how to store geospatial [vector data](https://gisgeography.com/spatial-data-types-vector-raster/) (point, lines, polygons) in [Apache Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/), a popular columnar storage format for tabular data - see [this vendor explanation](https://databricks.com/glossary/what-is-parquet) for more on what that means. Our goal is to standardize how geospatial data is represented in Parquet to further geospatial interoperability among tools using Parquet today, and hopefully help push forward what's possible with 'cloud-native geospatial' workflows. There are now more than 20 different tools and libraries in 6 different languages that support GeoParquet, you can learn more at [geoparquet.org](https://geoparquet.org).

Early contributors include developers from GeoPandas, GeoTrellis, OpenLayers, Vis.gl, Voltron Data, Microsoft, Carto, Azavea, Planet & Unfolded.

Anyone is welcome to join the project, by building implementations, trying it out, giving feedback through issues and contributing to the spec via pull requests.
Initial work started in the [geo-arrow-spec](https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow) GeoPandas repository, and that will continue on
Arrow work in a compatible way, with this specification focused solely on Parquet. We are in the process of becoming an [OGC](https://ogc.org) official
[Standards Working Group](https://portal.ogc.org/files/103450) and are on the path to be a full OGC standard.

**The latest [stable specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/) and [JSON schema](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/schema.json) are published at [geoparquet.org/releases/](https://geoparquet.org/releases/).**

**The community has agreed on this release, but it is still pending OGC approval.** We are currently working on the process to get it officially OGC approved as soon as possible. The OGC candidate Standard is at [https://docs.ogc.org/DRAFTS/24-013.html](https://docs.ogc.org/DRAFTS/24-013.html). The candidate Standard remains in draft form until it is approved as a Standard by the OGC Membership. Released versions of GeoParquet will not be changed, so if changes are needed for OGC approval, it will be released with a new version number.

The 'dev' versions of the spec are available in this repo:

- [**Specification**](format-specs/geoparquet.md) (dev version - not stable, go to the [stable specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/) instead)
