Depends if you’re talking about connecting to a WFS service or using MapServer to create a WFS service.<br>
<br>
See https://mapserver.org/input/vector/wfs.html for the former and https://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html for the latter... it’s a little more involved.<br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> As few years have passed since the time that I was using mapserver constantly (before geojson file format started emerging) I would like to ask if there is any basic difference while creating the map files.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">It would be of great help if you could provide me an example in the following map file which loads a shape file. What differences must be done in order to load the file cemetery.geojson instead of the cemetery.shp?</p>
