geobox | A geobox resource for Go based on mutiny 's geobox.py

geobox is a Go library. geobox has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

a geobox resource for go based on mutiny’s geobox.py. what is a geobox and why? - copyright 2008 brett slatkin. it’s hard to do bounding-box queries with non-relational databases because they do not have the histograms necessary for using multiple inequality filters in the same query. geobox queries get around this by pre-computing different resolutions of bounding boxes and saving those in the database. then to query for a bounding box, you just query for the resolution of geo box that you’re interested in. a geobox is defined by a string ordered "lat|lon|lat|lon" that looks like: "37.78452999999|-122.39532395324|37.78452999998|-122.39532395323". where the two sets of coordinates form a bounding box. the first coordinate set is the west/north-most corner of the bounding box. the second coordinate set is the east/south-most corner of the bounding box. each geo value is represented with many decimal places of accuracy, up to the resolution of the data source. the number of decimal places present for latitude and longitude is called the "resolution" of the geobox. for example, 15 decimal-point values would be called "resolution 15". each coordinate in the geobox must have all digits defined for its corresponding resolution. that means even trailing zeros should be present. to query for members of a bounding box, we start with some input coordinates like
