What is GDAL?
GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) is a translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats that presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command line utilities for data translation and processing. It is commonly used for reading, writing, and manipulating geospatial raster and vector data.
