# What is DotSpatial?

DotSpatial is a geographic information system library written for .NET Framework (V1-V3) and .NET Core (V4+).
It allows developers to incorporate spatial data, analysis and mapping functionality into their applications or to contribute GIS extensions to the community.

DotSpatial provides a map control for .NET and several GIS capabilities including:

* Display a map in a .NET Windows Forms.
* Open shapefiles, grids, rasters and images.
* Render symbology and labels.
* Reproject on the fly.
* Manipulate and display attribute data.
* Scientific analysis.
* Read GPS data.
