osbng: Geospatial Grid Indexing with the British National Grid

Offers a streamlined programmatic interface to Ordnance Survey's British National Grid (BNG) index system, enabling efficient spatial indexing and analysis based on grid references. It supports a range of geospatial applications, including statistical aggregation, data visualisation, and interoperability across datasets. Designed for developers and analysts working with geospatial data in Great Britain, 'osbng' simplifies integration with geospatial workflows and provides intuitive tools for exploring the structure and logic of the BNG system.
