A5 is an open-source, next-generation hierarchical spatial index for geospatial data. It enables fast, scalable, and precise spatial analytics by dividing the world into a grid of pentagonal cells at multiple resolutions. A5 cells have equal area, minimal distortion, and are well-suited for spatial analysis and aggregation.
