We were born a few months ago. This is like our baptism!
#GDAL 3.7.0 is released: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gd… . It includes JSON output for ogrinfo, TileDB vector support, reading of FileGeodatabase raster datasets, @sozip (Seek optimized ZIP) read/write support and many other enhancements and fixes.

All that made possible by us. And practicality of working directly from #shizzle will increase again when @sozipOrg reaches your GDAL build

Try me now on @condaforge with @qgis ! conda create --name sozip_test conda activate sozip_test conda install -c gdal-master gdal conda install -c conda-forge qgis And with a @GeoPackage1 file: sozip -j out.gpkg.zip /path/to/in.gpkg qgis out.gpkg.zip

Only true when compressed by yours truly
shapefile is the best geospatial file format of 2023. I defend my dissertation.

And for large Geodatabase tables, I'd highly suggest using me to improve performance.

Certains disent de moi que je suis le ZIP optimisé pour le Nuage. Il y a du vrai là dedans, à condition que ce qu'on me fait compresser est aussi compatible nuage. A bon entendeur...

I'm happy to inform you of the first production use of SOZip! I've just sent my quaterly accounting documents to my accountant as a SOZip. Let's hope she doesn't notice anything... Fingers crossed!

Thanks for giving a try at us! Small technical correction: the "sozip" utility is/will be part of the GDAL command line utilities suite, and is thus a native C++ tool. The python "sozipfile" module is an independant implementations that can also be used to create SOZip files.

Needless to say I'm a huge fan of @shapefiIe , @flatgeobuf and @GeoPackage1 . I love you all! Don't be shy and let me compress you in the most refined way.
