Introduction</h2>
<p>Geometry Engine Open Source is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite released under the LGPL license. It has interfaces for C++, C and python (though swig).</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="getstart_sec"></a>
Getting Started</h2>
<p>The recommended low-level interface to the GEOS library is the simplified <a class="el" href="c_iface.html">C wrapper interface</a>. This will ensure stability of the API and the ABI of the library during performance improvements that will likely change classes definitions.</p>
<p>If you don't care about adapting/rebuilding your client code you can still use the <a class="el" href="cpp_iface.html">C++ interface</a>. </p>
