A java GIS API for spatial data visualization and analysis.

GeoKIT is a Java API (Application Programming Interface) for manipulating, visualizing, and analyzing 2D/3D raster and vector spatial data. It is written completely in Java programming language. It provides a comprehensive set of components to embed GIS (Geographical Information System) functionality into your applications.

BILGI has created and has been maintaning the GeoKIT project. The company aims to keep the GeoKIT up-to-date and GIS/Military standards compliant. GeoKIT has also interfaces to the other products  produced by BILGI such as MESSMAN and C2net.

GeoKIT is platform independent since it is pure Java. It also has got a Data Accessor Structure thus transparent to the data formats that is needed to be displayed and analyzed.  Many of the industry standard data formats has been already implemented by GeoKIT development team, but the new data formats can easily be integrated to GeoKIT by developers.

The product implements client and server side functionality with different modules. Server side functionality includes GeoKIT Web Map Server and GeoKIT Web Feature Server which are implemented based on OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) specifications.
