Hi Damien,

So the REST API is more for modifying Mapfiles rather than accessing data?
The latter looks like it will gradually happen with the implementation of the OGC Features API.
See https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi for an example. 

I've not heard of https://github.com/neogeo-technologies/mra before. Looks like there was a recent bug fix so maybe still active? I'm unaware of any others. 

I sometimes make dynamic maps by storing a Python dict object and manipulating it based on requests and using https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io to write back to a Mapfile.
