## Install

pip install geopandas
uv add geopandas
poetry add geopandas

## Description

GeoPandas is a project to add support for geographic data to
`pandas`_ objects.

The goal of GeoPandas is to make working with geospatial data in
python easier. It combines the capabilities of `pandas`_ and `shapely`_,
providing geospatial operations in pandas and a high-level interface
to multiple geometries to shapely. GeoPandas enables you to easily do
operations in python that would otherwise require a spatial database
such as PostGIS.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

GeoPandas extends pandas with geospatial data support, combining pandas DataFrames with shapely geometries to enable spatial operations that would otherwise require a database like PostGIS.

Verdict: GeoPandas is a production-stable, actively maintained geospatial library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. It is well-suited for spatial data analysis workflows that combine pandas operations with geometry handling.
