GeoDjango
Homepage: http://geodjango.org/
Last update: 2008-11-01 12:27:36
GeoDjango is a geographic web framework, it's an official branch of Django. Django development revolves around "MTV:" Models, Templates, and Views. Models describe your data, and GeoDjango extends Django models with geographic fields that correspond to OGC geometries. GeoDjango requires no knowledge of SQL, as both the creation and querying of spatial databases are fully automated through the use of Django’s object-relational mapper (ORM). Spatial queries enable the developer to explore relationships among their models. Views are regular Python functions that act as the logic of the web application and feed parameters to templates for generation of web output. Using the Python ctypes library, GeoDjango provides built-in "pythonic" APIs to GEOS and GDAL free software geographic libraries. The interfaces include functionality for manipulating, examining, and importing spatial data. For example, the LayerMapping utility uses the OGR capabilities of GDAL for automatic importation and transformation of spatial data formats (e.g., shapefiles) into GeoDjango models.
