GeoPackage[1] is an open, standards-based, platform-independent, portable, self-describing, compact format for transferring geospatial information. It uses spatial indexes for performance and contains a SQLite database for storing data efficiently[2]. GeoPackages are widely used in programs like QGIS.

GeoPackage features (2D vector data), such as buildings or terrains can be imported into and exported from the Tygron Platform.

A GeoPackage contains one ore more layers. Generally each layer is assigned a particular geometry type, such as Point, Line or Multi Polygon.
