NOTICE: As of 2024 this library repo is not supported. It has been subsumed under Xponents/Core/ for general Java-compatibility and sustainment.
Test data for this library will remain here until further notice. Xponents is the only active, known consumer of the library.
GIScore provides the capability to perform streaming input and output of data from different file formats with an emphasis on GIS file formats such as ESRI Shapefiles or geo-databases (GDB) and Google Earth KML/KMZ. As time went on it was extended to include other record oriented formats that included GIS information such as WKT, GeoRSS and GeoAtom. Additionally it has proven useful to support some non-GIS formats such as Dbf and CSV.
More information on GIScore can be found in the project Wiki pages.
The build uses gradle, which can be downloaded from www.gradle.org. Use properties in your gradle.properties file to control the gradle build. gradle.properties is found at $HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties.
Note FileGDB support is implemented using a thin JNI layer on top of an ESRI C++ File Geodatabase API, which if FileGDB is desired then the ESRI library must be downloaded separately. Details at https://github.com/OpenSextant/giscore/wiki/FileGDB-Dependencies
