GeoServer
GeoServer is an open-source software server designed for handling and sharing geospatial data. Developed in Java, it enables users to upload, publish, and manage geographic information from various sources, including databases like PostGIS, shapefiles, and raster data. GeoServer utilizes Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards to provide a variety of data access methods, allowing users to integrate geographic data directly into web-based applications.
GeoServer is widely used by organizations for mapping and location-based applications, as it offers flexibility, scalability, and broad compatibility with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). With GeoServer, users can easily configure maps, generate spatial data layers, and access a rich set of tools for styling, filtering, and analyzing geospatial data. Its interactive interface supports formats such as KML, GeoJSON, and more, making it a popular choice for geospatial professionals who need a reliable platform for geodata sharing, manipulation, and visualization.
