Support vector tiles #545

Open krabina opened 5 years ago

krabina commented 5 years ago

Feature request:

The Austrian Basemap now supports Mapbox 2.0 format: https://www.data.gv.at/2019/06/25/basemap-at-vektor-tile-cache/

Vector tiles have advantages regarding size of data transported and are probably the future of mapping services.

Maps extension therefore should support this (as soon as it is avialable in leaflet or openlayers). https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/

AFAIK there are some first plugins: https://github.com/SpatialServer/Leaflet.MapboxVectorTile https://openmaptiles.org/docs/website/leaflet/ https://openlayers.org/en/master/examples/mapbox-vector-tiles.html

MapBox library since 2.0 is no longer Open Source. See https://carto.com/blog/our-thoughts-as-mapboxgl-js-2-goes-proprietary/ and fork https://maplibre.org
