Vectorized spatial vector file format I/O using GDAL/OGR

Pyogrio provides a GeoPandas-oriented API to OGR vector data sources, such as ESRI Shapefile, GeoPackage, and GeoJSON. Vector data sources have geometries, such as points, lines, or polygons, and associated records with potentially many columns worth of data. Pyogrio uses a vectorized approach for reading and writing GeoDataFrames to and from OGR vector data sources in order to give you faster interoperability. It uses pre-compiled bindings for GDAL/OGR so that the performance is primarily limited by the underlying I/O speed of data source drivers in GDAL/OGR rather than multiple steps of converting to and from Python data types within Python.
