Create Geospatial Analysis Library

[mftee]

Build library for land parcel overlap and boundary analysis

Description:
Develop a Rust library for analyzing land parcel geometries, detecting overlaps, and validating boundaries.

Requirements:

• Parse GeoJSON and WKT formats
• Calculate polygon area and perimeter
• Detect polygon intersections and overlaps
• Validate boundary topology
• Buffer and offset operations
• Spatial indexing (R-tree)
• Distance calculations
• CLI tool for spatial queries
• Node.js FFI bindings
• Performance benchmarks

Acceptance Criteria:

• Parses geospatial formats correctly
• Overlap detection is accurate
• Topology validation works
• Spatial indexing improves query performance
• CLI tool processes GeoJSON files
• FFI bindings are stable
• Unit tests with sample geometries
• Documentation with examples

Hi, my name is Paul. I’m a Rust and Python developer with strong experience in geospatial analysis and GIS-based systems, and I’m genuinely excited to build this project. I plan to implement it as a clean, layered geometry engine in Rust—starting from robust primitives and topology validation, through accurate overlap detection and spatial indexing—then delivering it end-to-end via a production-grade CLI and stable Node.js FFI bindings. I care deeply about correctness, performance, and maintainability, and I’d love to see this evolve into a solid, well-documented geospatial tool the community can rely on.

I’m excited to work on the land parcel overlap and boundary analysis library because it perfectly aligns with my experience in Rust and spatial computation. I’ve built high-performance Rust libraries and optimized geometric calculations with safety and concurrency in mind. I can implement accurate polygon parsing (GeoJSON/WKT), area/perimeter calculations, intersection detection, and topology validation, while integrating spatial indexing (R-tree) for efficient queries. Additionally, I can deliver a robust CLI tool, stable Node.js FFI bindings, and comprehensive tests with sample geometries, ensuring correctness, performance, and usability across real-world spatial applications.

Hi @mftee
I'd love to execute this task, having completed a similar task in this current wave I believe I have the skillset to execute this task

Hi team,
I’d be glad to implement the Rust library for land parcel geometry analysis.

I’m a backend developer with experience building high-performance libraries and CLI tools, working with spatial data and computational geometry. I have hands-on experience integrating Rust with Node.js through FFI for stable cross-language usage. While I haven’t contributed to open-source projects yet, I’m eager to start and would be delighted to contribute to this project.

How I’ll resolve this

Implement parsing of GeoJSON and WKT formats

Add geometric calculations: polygon area, perimeter, distance, buffer/offset operations

Detect polygon intersections and overlaps with accurate algorithms

Validate boundary topology and ensure correctness

Integrate R-tree spatial indexing for fast spatial queries

Build a CLI tool for GeoJSON spatial operations

Provide Node.js FFI bindings for library usage in JS projects

Write unit tests with sample geometries to validate accuracy

Benchmark performance and document library usage with examples

This will deliver a high-performance, reliable, and well-documented Rust library for analyzing and validating land parcels, ready for both CLI and programmatic use.
