The Process module's purpose is to have a low level interface to handle a very simple kind of operations on data. This API could be used by something like a Web Processing Service (WPS), but will be simple enough that any sort of operation service could be built on top of it.

The WPS module makes use of this API to offer a bridge to normal java developers. This module

Gold Star Quality Assurance Check

IP Check: completed, headers in place, should be no issues
Releasable: includedin the -Dall profile, dependent downstream projects
Quality Assurance: limited tests, coverage not measured
GeoServer WPS Module developed based on this api; open to feedback but no drastic change expected
Supported: documentation available

Module Goals

This module is being developed with the main goal of keeping the API as simple and generic as possible so it can be easily maintained.
Past attempts at this type of API have resulted in APIs that were too complex. So the main mandate for this run is to keep it simple.

Module Status

This module has been split into three:

• gt-process - slated for inclusion in gt-api as required
• gt-process-feature
• gt-process-raster
• gt-process-geometry

The module is in production. Additionally, the WPS Module is built around this API acting as a good real-world example.
