## ⚡️ What is it?
Geo Assist is an open-source Java library designed to simplify the process of working with spatial data. With an implementation of KD Trees, users can efficiently store and query spatial data such as latitude/longitude coordinates.
By providing a streamlined interface for complex geospatial operations, Geo Assist enables developers to build powerful and accurate search algorithms for applications such as geospatial analysis, location-based services, and more.
The project aims to enable the use of complex search algorithms, by tweaking them for geospatial operations.
## 📖 How to?
### Install:
Geo-assist is available on maven repository and can be imported to your project.
```xml
com.thegeekyasian
geo-assist
1.0.4
```
### 🌳 K-d Tree:
K-d Tree, formally called K-Dimensional Trees, are one of the best options when storing and retrieving objects based on geospatial parameters.
I have provided an implementation of storing objects in a K-d tree using the coordinates and searching nearest neighbors for the provided location (latitude/longitude) and the distance.
#### Insert
Here is how to initialize your data:
``` java
KDTree kdTree = new KDTree<>();
kdTree.insert(new KDTreeObject.Builder()
.id(5)
.latitude(25.2002450)
.longitude(55.2734184)
.build());
```
#### Find Nearest Neighbors
Once you have inserted your object(s) in the tree, here is how you can search for the nearest neighbors for a provided location:
``` java
Point point = new Point.Builder()
.latitude(25.2012544)
.longitude(55.2569389)
.build();
List> nearestNeighbors =
kdTree.findNearestNeighbor(point, 2); // 2 kilometers based on haversine distance.
```
#### Find The Nearest-Most Neighbor
Another feature provided allows you to find the nearest most object. From the objects that you can find in using the `findNearestNeighbor` feature, this method allows you to get the closest one, based on the provided location and distance.
The method is called `findNearest`, and returns a wrapper that holds the closes `KDTreeObject` and its `distance` from the provided location.
The API can be invoked as below:
``` java
Point point = new Point.Builder()
.latitude(25.2012544)
.longitude(55.2569389)
.build();
KDTreeNearestNeighbor nearestNeighbor =
this.kdTree.findNearest(point, 2); // 2 kilometers based on haversine distance.
```
#### Find in Bounding Box (range)
You can also find of objects in a bounding box for the provided range.
The `findInRange` method searches the k-d tree for all nodes whose coordinates fall within a given bounding box. This is useful for finding all points within a specific geographic region or for performing spatial queries on a set of points. The method takes in a BoundingBox object that defines the range to search within, and returns a list of KDTreeObject objects whose coordinates fall within the bounding box.
Here is how you can use `find in range`:
``` java
BoundingBox boundingBox = new BoundingBox.Builder()
.lowerPoint(new Point.Builder()
.latitude(24.836135)
.longitude(66.976089)
.build())
.upperPoint(new Point.Builder()
.latitude(24.951953)
.longitude(67.157364)
.build())
.build();
List> objects = kdTree.findInRange(boundingBox);
```
#### Delete
You can delete the object based on the custom identifier `ID`:
``` java
boolean ok = kdTree.delete(5);
```
This is how simple it has been made to query your geo-spatial data.
