`geo-types` is a collection of data types for storing geographical or other vector data.

It allows other libraries to interchange vector data as JavaScript objects with consistent semantics,

both server-side and client-side. Only the basic classes needed to represent data are included.

`geo-types` has several benefits compared to using GeoJSON internally in an application:

- Polygons and polylines may share points to preserve topology like in OpenStreetMap.

- Complex WFS features are supported: attributes can be nested and contain geometries.

Other libraries can be used to operate on the data:

- Converting from / to other formats.

- Rendering.

- Efficient storage and querying.

- Boolean operations.
