Integrate WFS with GeoApps

Access geographic objects via Web Feature Service for interactive data exchange

WFS logo

What is WFS?

Web Feature Service (WFS) provides access to geographic objects and their attributes through a standardized interface. Unlike WMS, which delivers map images, WFS provides access to actual geographic data.

WFS and GeoApps

WFS and GeoApps strengthen each other: maps, data and collaboration on one GIS platform.

GeoApps can connect to external WFS (layers in the viewer) and publish its own layers as WFS via Layer Services. So you connect external feature data into GeoApps or expose GeoApps data to other apps.
