geotiff.js - GeoTIFF Image Decoding

geotiff.js is a robust JavaScript library designed for decoding GeoTIFF and TIFF images in both browser and Node.js environments. It enables developers to read and parse these file formats, extract raw raster data across various data types and compressions (including Packbits, LZW, Deflate, JPEG, LERC, Zstandard, and WebP), and access rich geospatial metadata like GeoKeys and TIFF tags. The current stable version is 3.0.5, with ongoing active development and regular patch releases, alongside beta versions (e.g., 3.1.0-beta.0) that introduce new features like multi-stripped and tiled writing support. Key differentiators include its pure JavaScript implementation, configurable worker pools for efficient decoding, and selective reading of file portions to optimize bandwidth, making it an essential tool for web-based GIS applications that require client-side processing of georeferenced imagery.
