Main Data API

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 DataStore API 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 with real information.

gt-main module DataStore API

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>
