Package org.apache.sis.io.wkt Description

Well Known Text (WKT) parsing and formatting. This package implements the services provided by the org.apache.sis.referencing.CRS#parseWKT(String) and IdentifiedObject.toWKT() convenience methods, with more control. For example this package allows to:
Referencing WKT
Referencing WKT is defined using Extended Backus Naur Form (EBNF) in two versions: The WKT 1 format has been interpreted differently by various implementors. One noticeable difference is the unit of measurement of prime meridians and projection parameters. The WKT 2 format aims to solve the inter-operability problem caused by such mismatches, but not all softwares support this new format. Consequently importing or exporting data from/to a software with the WKT syntax require knowledge of the WKT variant used by that software. This variant can be specified by the Convention enumeration.
Geometry WKT
The GeneralEnvelope and GeneralDirectPosition classes provide their own, limited, WKT parsing and formatting services for the BOX and POINT elements. A description for this WKT format can be found on Wikipedia.
