WFS

WFS, or Web Feature Service, is a technology that allows users to access and share geographic data over the internet. It enables applications to retrieve specific map features—such as roads, buildings, or rivers—in a format that can be easily integrated and used in mapping or analysis tools. Think of it as a digital pipeline providing real-time, detailed geographic information directly to your software, helping with tasks like urban planning, environmental monitoring, or navigation without needing to download entire datasets. WFS promotes interoperability and efficient sharing of spatial data between different systems and organizations.
