Web Feature Service (WFS) is a standard proposed by the Open Geospatial Consortium that defines how client applications should request map vector data and attributes from a WFS compatible server. The protocol used is HTTP and the data returned is typically in Geography Markup Language (GML). WFS servers publish their capabilities in an XML document that specifies the types of requests supported and provides a description of available features.
JMap Server can read data from WFS servers versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 to be used as a spatial data source.
