This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Web Feature Service (WFS) layers into your mapping application. WFS layers allow you to request and display vector feature data from standard OGC-compliant web services, enabling access to a wide range of geospatial data sources.
You'll learn how to:
- Create a WFS layer that connects to an external feature service
- Configure layer properties such as visibility and format
- Specify the feature type (layer) to request from the WFS server
- Add the WFS layer to your map's overlay manager
WFS integration is essential for applications that need to access and display vector data from external servers. This capability allows you to incorporate dynamic feature data from various sources, display detailed geographic information, and build interactive maps that leverage standardized geospatial web services.
