[MapServer-users] OGC API – Features Part 3 (Filtering) implementation status

[Seth G]

Hi Oli,

I am unaware of any work being undertaken on this feature. Without funding, or a requirement for this from a core developer, it likely won't be implemented. 

The most recent work on the OGC Features API (implementation of Part 2 [1]) was written by Spatialys, listed under https://mapserver.org/community/service_providers.html. If any other organisations are interested in the feature, then maybe reply to this thread to combine resources.

According to the documentation from 2021, the status is still marked as “not in progress.” (https://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-134.html or https://www.mapserver.org/ogc/ogc_api.html#ogcapi)
