OGC Web Feature Service (WFS)

The OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) is a standard protocol that allows users to access and manipulate geospatial data over the internet. Think of it as a way for different software systems to share and retrieve detailed maps or spatial information, like the locations of parks, rivers, or buildings. WFS enables users to request specific features, such as the boundaries of a city, and receive them in a format that their applications can understand, making it easier to integrate and display geographic information in various applications.
