[mapserver-users] map file syntax for geojson file formats

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

It's actually GDAL/OGR that provides GeoJson read support. So assuming you have a file called cemeteries.geojson it should be as simple as replacing:

  DATA './cemeteries.shp'

with:

   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION './cemeteries.geojson'

See https://mapserver.org/input/vector/ogr.html for additional information on OGR support.

Subject: [mapserver-users] map file syntax for geojson file formats

Hello,

  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.

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?


MAP
                INCLUDE '../../geomoose_globals.map'

                WEB
                                METADATA
                                                'ows_title' 'Cemeteries'
                                                INCLUDE '../../common_metadata.map'
            'wfs_getfeature_formatlist' 'gml,geojson'
                                END
                END

    DEBUG 5


                LAYER
                                NAME cemeteries
                                GROUP cemeteries
                                STATUS ON

                                METADATA
                                                'ows_title' 'cemeteries'

                                                'gml_include_items' 'all'
                                END

                                TYPE POINT

                                PROJECTION
                                                'init=epsg:4326'
                                END

                                CLASS
                                                STYLE
                                                                SYMBOL 'cemetery.png'
                                                                SIZE 13
                                                END
                                END

                                TEMPLATE 'dummy'
                END

END ## end Map


Thank you for your help.
