Ecosystem Support

[rofinn]

A meta issue track which packages will support FilePath types:

• BSON.jl
• CSV.jl
• DataDeps.jl
• FileIO.jl
• Glob.jl
• JLD2.jl
• JLSO.jl
• JSON.jl
• URIParser.jl
• QueryVerse
• Pkg

[oxinabox]

all the QueryVerse parsers, like CSVFile.jl and FeatherFiles.jl etc support FilePath types, right?

[rofinn]

Nope. Everybody is restricting things to strings.

Geospatial packages

Readers

Vector files

• Shapefile.jl - needs ls, splitdir, joinpath since shapefiles are actually a collection of multiple files
• GeoJSON.jl - doesn't really need this since it operates on pre-read Strings...
• GeoParquet.jl
• GeoDataFrames.jl (see ArchGDAL.jl below)

Raster files

• NetCDF.jl
• GRIBDatasets.jl
• NCDatasets.jl
• Zarr.jl
• ZarrDatasets.jl
• Rasters.jl
• YAXArrays.jl

Multipurpose

• ArchGDAL.jl: it may need some special treatment / translation to GDAL-type URLs
