Browse an OGC API feature service for layers and add them to the map.

Use case

OGC API standards are used for sharing geospatial data on the web. As an open standard, the OGC API aims to improve access to geospatial or location information and could be a good choice for sharing data internationally or between organizations. That data could be of any type, including, for example, transportation layers shared between government organizations and private businesses.

How to use the sample

Select a layer to display from the drop-down list of layers available from the OGC API service. The Daraa data is used as the default feature service, however, alternative feature services can be used.

How it works

  1. Create an OgcFeatureService object with a URL to an OGC API feature service.
  2. Create a list of feature collections from the OgcFeatureService.OgcFeatureServiceInfo.FeatureCollectionInfos.
  3. When a feature collection is selected, create an OgcFeatureCollectionTable from the list of feature collections.
  4. Populate the OgcFeatureCollectionTable using PopulateFromService with QueryParameters that contain a MaxFeatures property.
  5. Create a feature layer from the feature table.
  6. Add the feature layer to the map.

Relevant API

  • OgcFeatureCollectionInfo
  • OgcFeatureCollectionTable
  • OgcFeatureService
  • OgcFeatureServiceInfo

About the data

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

Additional information

See the OGC API website for more information on the OGC API family of standards.
