WFS3 - OGC WFS 3.0 service (experimental)

(GDAL/OGR >= 2.3.0)

NOTE: THIS IS BASED ON A DRAFT VERSION OF THE WFS 3.0 SPECIFICATION

This driver can connect to a OGC WFS 3.0 service. It assumes that the service supports OpenAPI 3.0/JSON/GeoJSON encoding for respectively API description, feature collection metadata and feature collection data.

Dataset name syntax

The syntax to open a WFS datasource is : WFS3:http://path/to/WFS/endpoint

Layer schema

OGR needs a fixed schema per layer, but WFS 3.0 Core doesn't impose fixed schema. So the driver will retrieve the first page of features (10 features) and establish a schema from this.

Filtering

The driver will forward any spatial filter set with SetSpatialFilter() to the server. In WFS 3.0 Core, only a subset of attributes allowed by the server can be queried for equalities, potentially combined with a AND logical operator. More complex requests will be partly or completely evaluated on client-side.

Rectangular spatial filtering is forward to the server as well.

Open options
