About S2
S2 was created by Google in 2006 to address the need for efficient spatial indexing and geometric computations on the sphere. It was designed to handle geographic data more effectively, enabling tasks such as point-in-region tests and nearest neighbor searches.
S2's strengths include its efficient handling of spherical geometry, precise spatial indexing, and robust algorithms for geographic computations. Weaknesses may involve complexity in usage and limited support for non-spherical geometries. Competitors include libraries like GeoHash, H3, and PostGIS.
