Data

Supports access to feature information (i.e. vector information) from a range of data sources. Additional DataStore plugins are available from gt-jdbc for database access.

The Data module is all about hoisting data (usually in the form of features) off of external services, disk files etc… into your application. This is where you can finally start putting the toolkit to work.

The gt-main module is the foundation for implementing additional DataStore

formats:

• Abstract classes for DataStore implementers to start from such as ContentDataStore and DirectoryDataStore

The gt-main module requires plug ins for different formats to be supplied.

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
  <artifactId>gt-main</artifactId>
  <version>${geotools.version}</version>
</dependency>
