It wraps Pyproj functionality and exposes it through Xarray accessors, allowing you to work with CRS metadata consistently across Xarray datasets and dataarrays. The package aims to prevent duplication of CRS logic across the Xarray geospatial ecosystem by providing a common, reusable foundation.\n\nThe extension focuses narrowly on CRS management\u2014parsing, formatting, equality checking, and comparison\u2014rather than on data reprojection or spatial operations, which are left to specialized downstream packages. It leverages Xarray's custom indexes feature to enable alignment and combination of datasets based on their CRS. The project is currently experimental and proof-of-concept, with active development but no guarantee of API stability.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or using Xarray-based geospatial extensions and want a lightweight, centralized CRS management layer. The low install friction, permissive license, and active maintenance make it a reasonable foundation dependency. However, treat it as experimental\u2014the API may change, and it is not yet proven in production workflows. Not necessary for simple one-off geospatial scripts; most value accrues when building reusable libraries."},"id":"xproj","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xproj","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xproj.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xproj/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"xproj","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Xarray extension for projections and coordinate reference systems"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":136340,"position":11398,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
