GeoPackage

This article is a stub. You can help OpenStreetMap by expanding it.

GeoPackage is an open data format defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium and used by GIS software. A GeoPackage file has the extension .gpkg and is a SQLite database with a custom schema.

The format is able to contain both raster and vector data.[1]

Extensions to the standard do exist. Some have been integrated back into the standard.[2]

Software support

This format is supported in QGIS, gvsig[3], udig[3], geoserver[3], MapServer[3], deegree[3], esri[3], mapinfo[3], fme[3], talend[3], geokettle[3], stetl[3].

GDAL (and thus also ogrinfo, ...) supports GeoPackage, with optional Spatialite support. For more info see the GDAL driver docs.
