Joining GeoDataFrames with Polygons and Points Using Shapely's sjoin Function
Joining Two GeoDataFrames with Polygons and Points Warning: The array interface is deprecated and will no longer work in Shapely 2.0. When working with GeoDataFrames containing polygons and points, joining the two based on whether the points are within the polygons can be achieved using the sjoin function from the geopandas library. Problem In this example, we have a GeoDataFrame points_df containing points to be joined with another GeoDataFrame polygon_df, which contains polygons.
