[OpenLayers-Dev] Plot features onto multiple layers from one HTTP request

[khanh703]

I would like to plot features onto multiple layers from one HTTP request ie
(Burgers, Hot Dogs, etc...)

I can achieve what I want by making multiple request but would rather make
one request.

How can I achieve plotting on different layers:
1. Change the protocol attributes to read from local ARRAY and do a while
loop
or
2. Change my FeatureCollection structure

This below works but all features are plotted on the same layer:
markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(thisLayer, {
            preFeatureInsert: preFeatureInsert,
            strategies: [
                new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed(),
                new OpenLayers.Strategy.Cluster({
                    distance: 20
                })
            ],
            protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                url: protocolUrl,
                format: protocolFormat
            }),
            projection: MapProj,
            formatOptions: {
                extractStyles: true,
                extractAttributes: true
            },
            styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
                "default": style,
                "select": style
            }),
            catID: 0
        });

with this collection:
{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [{
        "type": "feature",
        "properties": {
            "id": "7943",
            "name": "Bobs Burger",
            "category": "57",
            "color": "9875c3",
            "timestamp": "1400149988"
        },
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [-76.437099, 39.041711]
        }
    }, {
        "type": "feature",
        "properties": {
            "id": "7944",
            "name": "Hot Diggity",
            "category": "54",
            "color": "b33838",
            "timestamp": "1400150184"
        },
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [-76.436586, 39.041696]
        }
    }]
}
