Hi, > nice overview... what is the disadvantage of geotools not being strictly > GEOAPI compatible anymore? Currently, implementing GeoAPI or not is probably not a big issue, as GeoToolkit may be the only library to implement GeoAPI interfaces (Martin Desruisseau is the designer of GeoAPI, of GeoToolkit and of early Geotools referencing module)
But GeoAPI is now an OGC standard. So if one consider interoperability and evolutivity, implementing GeoAPI may have some advantages, at least in theory : - Test suite developped around GeoAPI (and based on EPSG datasets) will be freely available for every implementation of GeoAPI. - Softwares using an implementation of GeoAPI will be able to switch from an implementation to another (ex. adapters for native proj4 have already been developped). OK, these are mainly theoretical advantages, Geotools has probably a larger community, which is also a big advantage. I have no dogmatic position, just know that GeoAPI is a high quality library and worth to be considered. When I explored existing solutions before I started with CTS - geotools/geoapi seemed very complex to me (hundreds of classes, lot of dependencies, continuous evolution,...) - geotools/geoapi did not implement grid based french transformations (which was a must have for me) Things have changed on the geoapi/geotoolkit side (ex. implementation of grid-based transformation), but it's probably still complex I don't know much about progresses made on the geotools side about dependencies and grid-based transformations like NTv2.
