Ogc api

I have installed the OGC API for Geoserver and I can view, using REST services, all the collections that I previously created as layers. To create additional collections, do I need to use Geoserver Data Stores and create and publish layers, or can I create additional collections with the OGC API without going back to Geoserver?

Glad you are enjoying OGC API:

  • OGC API is a new protocol for feature access alongside WFS. It is used to access content. It happens to be based on REST and JSON but the point is to access content.

  • GeoServer configuration (workspaces, datastore, layers) remains unchanged and can be configured via the Admin Console or REST API.
