Spatial Hop: @edigonzales has released a new version of his spatial #Hop distribution, swapping the heavy #OGR / #GDAL dependency for a pure-Java GeoTools-based approach and adding dedicated #INTERLIS support. Fewer formats are supported overall, but the essentials - #Shapefile, #GeoPackage, #FGDB, #FlatGeobuf, #GeoParquet - are covered, alongside an improved Data Inspector.
