## What is Google Earth Engine?

[Google Earth Engine](https://earthengine.google.com/) is a cloud-based platform that allows users to have an easy access to a petabyte-scale archive of remote sensing data and run geospatial analysis on Google's infrastructure. Currently, Google offers support only for Python and JavaScript. `rgee` will fill the gap **starting to provide support to R!**. Below you will find the comparison between the syntax of `rgee` and the two Google-supported client libraries.

**Quite similar, isn't it?**. However, there are additional smaller changes should consider when using Google Earth Engine with R. Please check the [consideration section](https://r-spatial.github.io/rgee/articles/rgee02.html) before you start coding!

## How does rgee work?

`rgee` is **not** a native Earth Engine API like the Javascript or Python client, to do this would be extremely hard, especially considering that the API is in [active development](https://github.com/google/earthengine-api). So, how is it possible to run Earth Engine using R? the answer is [reticulate](https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/). `reticulate` is an R package designed to allow a seamless interoperability between R and Python. When an Earth Engine **request** is created in R, `reticulate` will transform this piece into Python. Once the Python code is obtained, the `Earth Engine Python API` transform the request to a `JSON` format. Finally, the request is received by the Google Earth Engine Platform thanks to a Web REST API. The **response** will follow the same path.
