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

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Depends if you’re talking about connecting to a WFS service or using MapServer to create a WFS service.

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.

Thank you very much for the quick and very clear and helpful responses.

Could I ask a last question please?

How could the same map file be transformed in order to create a WFS connection type?



Is it something like:



CONNECTIONTYPE WFS

DATA ‘./cemeteries.shp’     ?

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.

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

                                DATA './cemeteries.shp’

                                                'init=epsg:4326'

                                END



                                CLASS

                                                STYLE

                                                                SYMBOL 'cemetery.png'

                                                                SIZE 13

                                                END

                                END



                                TEMPLATE 'dummy'

                END



END ## end Map





Thank you for your help.
