# Fiona

Canonical: https://gisforweb.com/tools/fiona/

Pythonic file I/O for geospatial vector data, wrapping GDAL/OGR.

Fiona reads and writes geospatial vector data formats as simple Python mappings, wrapping GDAL's OGR library in a clean, Pythonic API. It handles Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage and dozens more formats, and pairs naturally with Shapely for geometry work and GeoPandas for analysis.
