This document summarizes a presentation about FlatGeobuf, a new vector format standard that aims to replace Shapefiles. It introduces FlatGeobuf as a simpler format than GeoPackage that addresses Shapefile limitations like file size restrictions and character encoding issues. FlatGeobuf uses FlatBuffers and stores geometry and attributes in a single file, offering high performance for reading, writing, and streaming partial data compared to other formats. The document advocates for adopting FlatGeobuf as the new standard vector format.
