[mapserver-users] MapServer v GeoServer

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

There have been lots of comparisons done, just Goggle mapserver vs geoserver.

IMHO the big differences are:

-          Platform: C/C++ vs Java

-          GeoServer WFS-T Support (although see TinyOWS for WFS-T and MapServer)

-          GeoServer GUI-based configuration (vs mapfiles)

There are other more nuanced differences that would be use case specific.

Hi,

MapServer appears to do most of what I need it too. Is there any reason why one would choose GeoServer as an alternative? Are there any disadvantages to MapServer when compared to GeoServer?

Regards,
Jon-Paul.
