{"library":"quadbin","type":"library","category":null,"description":"The `quadbin` library (version 0.4.2) provides essential utility functions for working with the Quadbin spatial index, a hierarchical geospatial indexing system developed by CARTO. Quadbins represent map cells using 64-bit integers, offering a distinct approach compared to variable-length indexing systems like Quadkey. This TypeScript-first library emphasizes performance and type safety, making it suitable for geospatial data processing in Node.js environments (requiring Node.js >=18). It's primarily used in WebGL and visualization contexts for efficient spatial queries and data aggregation. The library's main differentiator is its use of JavaScript's `BigInt` type for quadbin indices, which necessitates explicit conversion functions like `bigIntToHex` and `hexToBigInt` when serializing or deserializing data (e.g., for JSON). While specific release cadences aren't strictly defined, the package receives active maintenance, with recent dependency updates reflecting ongoing support.","language":"javascript","status":"active","version":"0.4.2","tags":["javascript","quadbin","webgl","visualization","typescript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install quadbin","imports":["import { tileToCell } from 'quadbin';","import { cellToTile } from 'quadbin';","import { bigIntToHex, hexToBigInt } from 'quadbin';"]},{"cmd":"yarn add quadbin","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add quadbin","imports":[]}],"homepage":"https://carto.com/quadbin","github":"https://github.com/CartoDB/quadbin-js","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/quadbin","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/quadbin/compatibility"},"provenance":{"verified_status":null,"verified_at":null,"last_verified":"Wed Jun 17","next_check":"Sat Jul 18","install_tag":null}}
