PySTAC Documentation
####################
PySTAC is a library for working with `SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC)
<https://stacspec.org/>`_ in `Python 3 <https://www.python.org/>`_. Some nice features
of PySTAC are:
* Reading and writing STAC version 1.0. Future versions will read older versions of
STAC, but always write the latest supported version. See :ref:`stac_version_support`
for details.
* In-memory manipulations of STAC catalogs.
* Extend the I/O of STAC metadata to provide support for other platforms (e.g. cloud
providers).
* Easy, efficient crawling of STAC catalogs. STAC objects are only read in when needed.
* Easily write "absolute published", "relative published" and "self-contained" catalogs
as :stac-spec:`described in the best practices documentation
<best-practices.md#use-of-links>`.
