  Description     : JavaScript library to transform point coordinates systems

Proj4js is a JavaScript library to transform point coordinates from one
coordinate system to another, including datum transformations.

This library is a port of both the PROJ.4 and GCTCP C libraries to JavaScript.
Enabling these transformations in the browser allows geographic data stored in
different projections to be combined in browser-based web mapping applications.

Proj4js is a part of the MetaCRS group of projects and uses the same MIT style
license as PROJ.4.

The package is a dependency of OpenLayers 3, and will be maintained within the
Debian GIS team.
