Description

Bindings for the "A5 geospatial index" <https://a5geo.org/>. 'A5' partitions the Earth's surface into pentagonal cells across 31 resolution levels using an equal-area projection onto a dodecahedron. Provides functions for indexing coordinates to cells, traversing the cell hierarchy, computing cell boundaries, and compacting/uncompacting cell sets. Powered by the 'A5' 'Rust' crate via 'extendr'.
