Web Feature Service

A Web Feature Service (WFS) is an online system that allows users to access, retrieve, and share detailed geographic data (like maps, boundaries, or locations) over the internet. It enables applications to request specific information about real-world features, such as land parcels or roads, and receive it in a standard format. This helps in integrating accurate geographic information into various applications, supporting tasks like urban planning, environmental monitoring, or navigation, while allowing data providers to control access and sharing of their spatial data efficiently.
