+Pyogrio provides a GeoPandas-oriented API to OGR vector data sources,
+such as ESRI Shapefile, GeoPackage, and GeoJSON. Vector data sources
+have geometries, such as points, lines, or polygons, and associated
+records with potentially many columns worth of data.
+
+Pyogrio uses a vectorized approach for reading and writing GeoDataFrames
+to and from OGR vector data sources in order to give you faster
+interoperability. It uses pre-compiled bindings for GDAL/OGR so that the
+performance is primarily limited by the underlying I/O speed of data
+source drivers in GDAL/OGR rather than multiple steps of converting to
+and from Python data types within Python.
