GeoPackage is a universal file format for vector and raster geodata. It’s open, standards-based, application and platform independent, and self-describing. And since its built on top of SQLite, all you need to know is SQL to use GeoPackages on any desktop or mobile OS on the market. GeoPackage is the modern alternative to formats like GeoTIFF and especially Shapefile.
See also other "Geodata Package File Formats" which typically include also symbology and styling:
