I’m planning to work with google maps api, to handle data I’m using MySQl and EclipseLink but I couldn’t find (Spatial Geometry, point types in Java ) So I googled and found JTS Topology Suite, what are the available alternatives ? pros and cons would be appreciated if available.
JTS is a java library for working with Spatial data once you load it up into JTS objects. I would say you should just do the SQL calls in MySQL and then have it give you back JSON or XML for the geometries you need to work with.
I am not as familiar with MySQL but in PostGIS/Postgresql – there is a JDBC driver that supports spatial types and queries.
In either case – if you are already storing your data as spatial data then I would recommend using the SQL Engine to do your spatial operations rather than JTS.
