This is the golden standard for geometric libraries. If you are building a geometric library and want to scale it up to enterprise levels you cannot do better than starting from this. It's built by a consortium of universities who have contributed many many years of research in computational geometry to its codebase. It solves edge cases that GEOS/JTS have not come close to solving.

If you need something to just do calculations for display on a Leaflet map, PostGIS/JTS/GEOS/Turf.js will do just fine. If you want to build something that needs to be rock solid, lightning fast, and 100% accurate in all cases, use this library.
