Browser and Node.js library for parsing GeoTIFF files for visualization and analysis.

geotiff.js is a pure-JavaScript library for reading and visualizing TIFF and GeoTIFF files. It runs in browsers and Node.js and supports compression, geographic metadata, internal tiling, color-space conversion, and other TIFF features. It is useful for client-side raster inspection and for applications that need to work with TIFF data without a server-side GIS stack.
