Main Features

The core module of the project is the gdalframework module which provide a bridge between the Java Image I/O framework and the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library via SWIG's generated Java bindings to provide support for a reach set of data formats.

Here below a brief list of the current supported formats is provided. Note that for each of these formats an Image I/O-Ext plugin is provided which integrates into the standard Image I/O SPI mechanism.
