What's the one-line on that: there is consensus that Shapefile is on its way out but no consensus on its successor, not GeoPackage or anything else? Where can we simply see as of today, what % of geospatial files in use are Shapefile, GeoPackage et al??

- culebron21 3y agoIf you need mutability and indexing, then choose GeoPackage. If you can skip mutability, but still need indexing, probably FlatGeoBuffer. If you can skip both indexing and mutability -- then CSV or GeoJSON will suffice (especially if you need small data and human readable).
