An Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoPackage (GPKG) is an open data format for geographic information systems that support both vector and raster data. The format was defined by OGC and published in 2014, after which it has seen wide support from various government, commercial, and open source organizations. The GeoPackage data format was developed with the mobile user in mind—it was designed to be as efficient as possible, with all information contained in a single file. This makes it easy to rapidly share them on cloud storage and USB drives, and it is used in mobile applications that are disconnected. A GeoPackage file is built up as an extended SQLite 3 database file (*.gpkg) that combines data and metadata tables.
