It provides a structured way to attach observation metadata to geospatial imagery items\u2014specifically off-nadir angle, incidence angle, azimuth, and sun geometry information. This is useful when working with satellite or aerial imagery where the angle and direction of capture matter for analysis or processing.\n\nThe package is a thin, focused layer on top of pystac-core that handles serialization and validation of view-related fields according to the STAC specification. You install it alongside PySTAC when your catalog or item processing needs to record or read view geometry metadata. The package version tracks the extension specification version it targets, with post-releases for code updates that don't change the spec version.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or consuming STAC catalogs that include satellite or aerial imagery and need to standardize view geometry metadata. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. Install only if your workflow actually requires view geometry fields; base PySTAC alone is sufficient for simpler use cases."},"id":"pystac-ext-view","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-view","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-view.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-view/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-view","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"View extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981935,"position":2409,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
