From GeoJSON to WMTS: Serve Your Maps Effortlessly with GISBox

WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) is an open standard web mapping service based on a RESTful architecture. It provides efficient map visualization by pre-generating and then clipping standardized map tiles (images) at different scales. This service uses a pyramid model to organize spatial data at multiple levels, enabling fast retrieval and loading. This significantly improves the transmission efficiency and rendering performance of large-scale geographic data in network environments, and is widely used in various online electronic map platforms and WebGIS applications.
What is GeoJSON?
GeoJSON is an open standard format based on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), specifically tailored for encoding and exchanging geospatial data (such as points, lines, polygons, etc.). Standardized by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) as RFC 7946, GeoJSON is widely used in web mapping development, geographic information systems (GIS), and data sharing due to its lightweight, readable, and easily parsable nature.
Publishing Vector Services in GISBox

  1. GISBox's built-in free GIS server supports importing both raster and vector data for 2D data publishing. Click on "Vector Services" and add a local GeoJSON file.
  2. After adding the file, you can view the added service in the Vector Services list. Under "Protocol Type," select the desired protocol (e.g., WFS, WMS, or MVT). Here, we choose WMTS for publishing. By following these steps, you can effortlessly publish GeoJSON data as a standardized WMTS service using GISBox, eliminating the need to independently install middleware and further streamlining the workflow.
