About:
PROJ is a generic coordinate transformation software that transforms coordinates from one coordinate reference system (CRS) to another. This includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations. It is a critical library for handling spatial data accuracy across different map projections and datums.
Key Features:
  • Supports hundreds of map projections and datums
  • Command-line interface for coordinate operations
  • Programmatic API for C, C++, and other languages
  • Handles vertical transformations and time-based coordinates
Use Cases:
  • Converting geographic coordinates between different map projections
  • Processing GIS data for accurate spatial analysis
  • Developing geospatial applications requiring coordinate transformations
Alternatives:
  • GDAL – PROJ focuses specifically on coordinate transformations, while GDAL is a broader library for reading/writing raster and vector geospatial data formats.
