sf: Simple Features for R

Description

Support for simple feature access, a standardized way to encode and analyze spatial vector data. Binds to 'GDAL' \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi(" 10.5281/zenodo.5884351")} for reading and writing data, to 'GEOS' \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi(" 10.5281/zenodo.11396894")} for geometrical operations, and to 'PROJ' \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi(" 10.5281/zenodo.5884394")} for projection conversions and datum transformations. Uses by default the 's2' package for geometry operations on geodetic (long/lat degree) coordinates.
