GeoDjango is an add-on for Django that turns it into a world-class geographic

GeoDjango is an included contrib module for Django that turns it into a
|
||||
world-class geographic Web framework. GeoDjango strives to make it as simple
|
||||
as possible to create geographic Web applications, like location-based services.
|
||||
Its features include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Django model fields for `OGC`_ geometries.
|
||||
* Extensions to Django's ORM for the querying and manipulation of spatial data.
