[Geoserver-devel] New community module: "api"

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

Hi,
in preparation for the OGC API hackaton I’d like to request a “api” community module that might
be the start of the new OGC API bindings.

At the beginning I’m thinking to have a single module, “api”, and maybe later, once it reaches critical mass,
split it into a few, something like:

  • api
  • core (spring mvc like dispatcher, based on annotations, and common utilities)
  • features (would migrate selected classes of wfs3 here, gradually abandoning the wfs3 module and its tiles/styles experimental extensions)
  • maps
  • coverages
  • processes
  • styles

Somewhere we should have also “tiles”… I’m a bit torn about this one.
Development wise it would be easier to have it in the group above, leveraging the same Spring MVC style development, but
product wise it would be better to have it in GWC, where we’d have to use the low level ServletHttpRequest/Response based
approach to develop it. Not the biggest deal I guess, the tiles API is pretty simple compared to others.

I don’t expect these modules to reach extension or core soon, the OGC API is still pretty much in the air
and it will take probably some time to have some firm specifications and extensions to make them
“useful” (like filtering and reprojection for the feaures api), community seems to be the right place for
something still evolving

Cheers
Andrea

Hi all,
question for you, I wanted to host all these new “API services” under a geoserver/api path,
but these services mandate to have a api path or their own with the OpenAPI document for that service,
resulting in a not so appealing “geoserver/api/features/api”

Hmm… suggestions for a different location?

Cheers
Andrea

+1 one on the module, is “api” really the nest name the OGC could come up with :smiley:

As I understand it the tiles and wms replacement are evolving concurrently at the moment; but I could be weeks out of date.
Just to double check you wish to have the plural form of features, maps, coverages, etc…

I used ogcapi as the name for my client-side plugin to opensphere.

It’s not my wish, it’s the name given to them by OGC, see the “room allocations”, which are named by API being discussed:
https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-API-Hackathon-2019/wiki/Room-Allocation

Something that might be changing during the hackaton of course.
