As we will see shortly, they differ in scope and underlying data models. Specifically, **rasterio** represents rasters as **numpy** arrays associated with a separate object holding the spatial metadata. -The **rioxarray** package, a warpper of **rasterio**, however, represents rasters with **xarray** "extended" arrays, which are an extension of **numpy** array designed to hold axis labels and attributes in the same object, together with the array of raster values. +The **rioxarray** package, a wrapper of **rasterio**, however, represents rasters with **xarray** "extended" arrays, which are an extension of **numpy** array designed to hold axis labels and attributes in the same object, together with the array of raster values. Similar approaches are provided by less well-known **xarray-spatial** and **geowombat** packages. Comparatively, **rasterio** is more well-established, but it is more low-level (which has both advantabes and distadvantages).
