About:
Spatialindex is a C++ library that provides a framework for developing spatial indices, such as R-trees and quadtrees. It offers robust spatial data management capabilities including insertion, deletion, and querying of geometric objects. The library is designed for high performance and flexibility, making it ideal for integrating spatial search into custom applications.

Key Features:

Supports R-tree, R-star tree, and Quadtree structures
High-performance spatial query processing
Generic C++ API for easy integration
Supports point, line, and polygon data types

Use Cases:

Building geospatial search functionality in applications
Accelerating nearest-neighbor queries in mapping software
Managing spatial data for scientific computing

Alternatives:

GEOS – GEOS focuses on geometric operations (like intersections) rather than index structures.
PostGIS – PostGIS provides spatial extensions for databases, whereas Spatialindex is a standalone library for index implementation.
