Blog Article

This work describes geoserver-rest, an open-source python package that can manage the geospatial data in a geoserver which is helpful for uploading, editing, and deleting the raster/vector layers from various sources.It is also useful for generating the style/legend from the uploaded geospatial data.Thus, generated legend can be used for visualization of mscbonline maps in the web-GIS platform.The package is successfully used to build the web-GIS portal for agricultural datasets of Afghanistan, which has around 6000 map layers.

The main benefit that geoserver-rest provides to this project is the ability to upload the data to the geoserver and adifom q red create the styles file dynamically.Thus, created style file are directly linked to the corresponding layer and provide the Web Mapping Service (WMS) standard and visualize in an interactive way.
