# JMap GML reader

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="193.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Read</td><td>Yes</td></tr><tr><td>Write</td><td>No</td></tr></tbody></table>

JMap Server can read GML files as a spatial data source. GML files must be paired with schema files (.XSD). If a GML file contains instances of more than one feature type, only one of those types can be chosen as the base type for the data source. JMap can read GML files of versions 2.x and 3.x.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.k2geospatial.com/en2/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/spatial-data-sources/vector-data-sources/jmap-gml-reader.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
