Rust adaptation of Proj4
npm install proj4rs


---
Rust library for transforming geographic point coordinates
from one coordinate system to another.
This is a pure Rust implementation
of the PROJ.4 project.
The documentation is available on docs.rs and the demo on docs.3liz.org.
- The aim of Proj4rs is to provide the same functionality as the
proj4js library.
- This port implements the PROJ.4 API,
which means there's no 3D/4D/orthometric transformation ATM.
- The goal of Proj4rs is not to be a replacement of PROJ,
but instead being a lightweight implementation of transformations
from CRS to CRS that could be used in Rust and WASM environments.
- This crate does not provide support for WKT. Instead,
there is a dedicated crate for transforming WKT strings to proj string.
- It aims to be WASM compatible for the wasm32-unknown-unknown target.
- No installation of external C libraries such as libproj or sqlite3 is needed.
Define the coordinate system with proj strings and use the transform function.
You can easily get the projection string of any coordinate system
from EPSG.io.
Note: Proj4rs use radians as natural angular unit (as does the original proj library)
Example:
``rust
use proj4rs;
use proj4rs::proj::Proj;
// EPSG:5174 - Example
let from = Proj::from_proj_string(concat!(
"+proj=tmerc +lat_0=38 +lon_0=127.002890277778",
" +k=1 +x_0=200000 +y_0=500000 +ellps=bessel",
" +towgs84=-145.907,505.034,685.756,-1.162,2.347,1.592,6.342",
" +units=m +no_defs +type=crs"
))
.unwrap();
// EPSG:4326 - WGS84, known to us as basic longitude and latitude.
let to = Proj::from_proj_string(concat!(
"+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84",
" +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"
))
.unwrap();
let mut point_3d = (198236.3200000003, 453407.8560000006, 0.0);
proj4rs::transform::transform(&from, &to, &mut point_3d).unwrap();
// Note that WGS84 output from this library is in radians, not degrees.
point_3d.0 = point_3d.0.to_degrees();
point_3d.1 = point_3d.1.to_degrees();
// Output in longitude, latitude, and height.
println!("{} {}",point_3d.0, point_3d.1); // 126.98069676435814, 37.58308534678718

If you need full support for WKT, please rely on proj which provides
a great implementation of the standards.
If you want WKT support in WASM, please have a look at:
- https://github.com/3liz/proj4wkt-rs
- https://github.com/frewsxcv/crs-definitions
Nadgrid support is still experimental.
Currently, only Ntv2 multi grids are supported for native build and WASM.
When compiled for WASM, the library exposes JavaScript API
that is very similar to that of proj4js.
A thin JavaScript layer provides full compatibility with proj4js
and thus can be used as a proj4js replacement.
Example:
`javascript
let from = new Proj.Projection("+proj=latlong +ellps=GRS80");
let to = new Proj.Projection("+proj=etmerc +ellps=GRS80");
let point = new Proj.Point(2.0, 1.0, 0.0);
// Point is transformed in place
Proj.transform(from, to, point);
