FeatureServer: Features for Today’s Geoweb
MetaCarta Labs is proud to announce the release of FeatureServer, an open source, Python based RESTful feature server.
FeatureServer allows you to store points, lines, and polygons in a number of backends, and get the data out all at once or one piece at a time. You can get the data out as KML, JSON, GeoRSS, GML/WFS or even as HTML.
FeatureServer is primarily designed as a lightweight vector feature storage companion to the new OpenLayers vector capabilities.
A demo of FeatureServer in OpenLayers is available at the FeatureServer Demo page. You can see features from this demo in:
FeatureServer is the first project we’ve released under our copyright-only open source license, a move designed to protect both MetaCarta and project contributors. We’re moving forward with getting this license approved by OSI, and plan to release future open source software under this license.
