Technical Overview

• Core abstract API; web framework agnostic (default Flask)
• YAML configuration (metadata, dataset connections)
• Automated OpenAPI document generation and data binding
• Robust plugin framework (data connections, formats, processing)
• Easy deployment (pip install, Docker, conda, UbuntuGIS)
• Minimal core dependencies

Provider plugin framework

• Features (Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, CSV, GeoJSON, OGR, MongoDB, Esri, Azure)
• Coverages (xarray, rasterio)
• Tiles (MinIO, ZXY directory tree)
• Records (Elasticsearch, TinyDB)
• WxS facades / bridges (WMS/WMTS, WFS, CSW)
• Implement your own!

Processing framework

• Expose your Python workflow as processes
• Process manager support for job control
• Implement your own!

Implementing your own Plugin

• Develop / propose / maintain as core plugin
• Develop / maintain in your own repository

Community Plugins and Themes

github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/wiki/CommunityPluginsThemes -- add yours!

schema.org

• Lower the barrier to data search
• HTML encoding is annotated as schema.org/Dataset to facilitate search engines
• Google dataset search locates pygeoapi datasets

Linked Data - JSON-LD

• JSON-LD provided as additional representation
• Default out of the box functionality for most pygeoapi resources / endpoints
• Additional configuration

Deploying

Numerous deployment options

• PyPI
• UbuntuGIS
• Docker
• Conda
• FreeBSD
