Pyogrio: Vectorized Spatial Vector File I/O

Pyogrio provides fast, bulk-oriented read and write access to GDAL/OGR vector data sources such as ESRI Shapefile, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, and FlatGeobuf. It significantly optimizes performance for geospatial data operations by leveraging pre-compiled GDAL/OGR bindings, thereby minimizing Python data type conversions. The library is actively maintained, with frequent releases that may include breaking changes between major minor versions. The current stable version is 0.12.1.
