[mapserver-dev] Vector Tile Production...

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

The fact ESRI is following the MapBox spec instead of creating their own lends a great deal of credibility to the MapBox work. I’ve not run across any competing specs – has anyone else? I would assume both OL3 and Leaflet would be target client environments. --Steve

Do we already have a standard to follow when implementing this? As far as I know ESRI followed the mapbox vector tile spec<https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec> but that is bound to a specific company. What would be the client side application we are targeting to consume the vector tiles?

Best regards,

Should we start work on an RFC then? I can get a skeletal one in place but this enhancement should encompass both MapServer and MapCache at the same time IMHO...

That's definitely something we should be looking into I'd say.
