Is there a way to calculate geographic distance between two points?

Is there currently a way to calculate the distance between two points in km/miles?

I think it would be cool to have a function in geotoolbox that works similarly to st_distance() in simple features implementations like R's sf or SQL.

Yes, you can calculate the distance between two points in kilometres or miles in SQL.
You can use this query

SQL;

SELECT
ST_Distance(
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude1, latitude1), 4326),
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude2, latitude2), 4326)
) AS distance_meters
FROM your_table;

Thank you so much for you response. I'm aware that this can be done in SQL. My questions was regarding how to do this in javascript with the geotoolbox library.
