I tried to make a list with the cons and pros of both: GeoPackage and Esri Shapes. Loading, panning and zooming feel way more quicker with GeoPackage than with Shapefiles. To cite Wikipedia: ‘An OGC GeoPackage (GPKG) is an open, non-proprietary, platform-independent and standards-based data format for geographic information system implemented as a SQLite database container.’Īs you may have noticed, QGIS 3 switched from Shapefile to GeoPackage as default in most cases. Some of you may have asked yourself: ‘Why should I use GeoPackage?’, ‘Is GeoPackage better than Esri Shapefile?’ or even: ‘What is GeoPackage?!’ For current cause I’m posting about the GeoPackage file format today.
