### WKB/WKT Serialization Example

Source: https://shapely.readthedocs.io

Example of serializing and deserializing a point using shapely.wkb and shapely.wkt.

```python
>>> from shapely.wkt import dumps, loads
>>> dumps(loads('POINT (0 0)'))
'POINT (0.0000000000000000 0.0000000000000000)'

```

### GeoJSON-like Integration Example

Source: https://shapely.readthedocs.io

Example of integrating Shapely with other Python GIS packages using GeoJSON-like dicts.

```python
>>> import json
>>> from shapely.geometry import mapping, shape
>>> s = shape(json.loads('{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}'))
>>> s
<POINT (0 0)>
>>> print(json.dumps(mapping(s)))
{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}

```

### Scalar Geometry Interface Example

Source: https://shapely.readthedocs.io

Example of building an approximately circular patch by buffering a point using the scalar Geometry interface.

```python
>>> from shapely import Point
>>> patch = Point(0.0, 0.0).buffer(10.0)
>>> patch
<POLYGON ((10 0, 9.952 -0.98, 9.808 -1.951, 9.569 -2.903, 9.239 -3.827, 8.81...>
>>> patch.area
313.6548490545941

```

### Vectorized ufunc Interface Example

Source: https://shapely.readthedocs.io

Example of comparing an array of points with a polygon using the vectorized ufunc interface.

```python
>>> import shapely
>>> import numpy as np
>>> geoms = np.array([Point(0, 0), Point(1, 1), Point(2, 2)])
>>> polygon = shapely.box(0, 0, 2, 2)

>>> shapely.contains(polygon, geoms)
array([False,  True, False])
