Implementation of GeoAPI 3.0 interfaces as wrappers around the GeoTools library.
Projects using GeoAPI interfaces for their metadata and referencing services have
more flexibility for changing implementation according their needs. It also makes
possible to use GeoTools with projects designed for GeoAPI. For example, it makes
possible to run the GIGS tests
against GeoTools.
In the metadata and referencing packages, there is an almost one-to-one relationship from the
GeoTools API to GeoAPI 3.0 (but not the converse, as GeoAPI has more metadata types).
In the majority of cases, using GeoAPI 3.0 instead of GeoTools API for metadata and
coordinate operations can be done by replacing geotools.api by opengis in import statements,
and using the static methods in the Wrappers class for viewing GeoTools objects as GeoAPI objects.
