Query data from an OGC API feature service using CQL filters.
Use case
CQL (Common Query Language) is an OGC-created query language used to query for subsets of features. Use CQL filters to narrow geometry results from an OGC feature table.
How to use the sample
The sample loads displaying a maximum of 1000 features within the OGC API feature service. Select a sample CQL query from the drop down menu. Optionally, adjust the max features value in the text box, and enter a date range such as June 13, 2011 (06/13/2011) to January 7, 2012 (01/07/2012) to narrow down the results based on time extent. Press the "Query" button to see the query applied to the OGC API features shown on the map.
How it works
Create an OgcFeatureCollectionTable object using a URL to an OGC API feature service and a collection ID.
Create QueryParameters and set a CQL filter string to it using queryParameters.setWhereClause().
Set the maximum amount of features to be returned with queryParamters.setMaxFeatures().
Create a new TimeExtent from start and end date values, and set it to the queryParameters.setTimeExtent() method.
Populate the OGC feature collection table using populateFromService() with the custom QueryParameters created in the previous steps.
Use mapView.setViewpointGeometryAsync() with the OGC feature collection table extent to view the newly-queried features.

About the data
The Daraa, Syria test data is OpenStreetMap data converted to the Topographic Data Store schema of NGA.
