GDAL/OGR In Other Languages

There is a set of generic ​SWIG interface files in the GDAL source tree (subdirectory swig) and a set of language bindings based on those. Currently active ones are CSharp, Java, Perl, and Python. The SWIG bindings for PHP and Ruby are out of date.

There are also other bindings that are developed outside of the GDAL source tree. These include bindings for ​Go, ​Julia, Lua, ​Node.js, ​PHP, ​R (rgdal in SourceForge is out of date), Tcl. There are also more Pythonic ways of using the vector/OGR functions with ​Fiona and the raster/GDAL ones with ​Rasterio (note: those offer APIs not strictly coupled the GDAL/OGR C/C++ API)
