[mapguide-users] Vector tile support (Was re: HTML5 client-side viewer (Was re: Re-thinking Fusion redlining efficiency))

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Some ideas:

Polymaps: can consume vector tiles. Demo at:
http://polymaps.org/ex/statehood.html

Openlayers plugin:
http://openlayerstools.sourceforge.net/src/Strategy_TFS.js

Leaflet has gained more popularity.
A custom verion of leaflet is also used by giscloud. Also here plugins
that support tiled geojson:
https://github.com/glenrobertson/leaflet-tilelayer-geojson

Not really a gis viewer yet, but many people are working on it based
on d3. See eg: https://github.com/d3/d3-plugins/tree/master/geo/tile
and http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5593150

I'm interested in helping out.
