Load geospatial tables from known file formats and convert the geometries to [Meshes.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/Meshes.jl) geometries that are compatible with the [GeoStats.jl](https://github.com/JuliaEarth/GeoStats.jl) ecosystem:

>
> Geospatial tables compatible with the GeoStats.jl framework - GitHub - JuliaEarth/GeoTables.jl: Geospatial tables compatible with the GeoStats.jl framework

Geometries are loaded from disk in pure Julia whenever possible using packages such as [Shapefile.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/Shapefile.jl) or (down)loaded from the internet using the [GADM.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GADM.jl) package.

All file formats supported by GDAL are automatically supported.

Thanks to @ErickChacon we have a new release of GeoTables.jl that is working smoothly with all file types and backend loaders (e.g. Shapefile.jl, GeoJSON.jl, ArchGDAL.jl). We recommend updating the version.
