OGC API - Styles

OGC API standards define modular API building blocks to spatially enable Web APIs in a consistent way. OpenAPI is used to define the reusable API building blocks with responses in JSON and HTML.

The OGC API family of standards is organized by resource type. OGC API - Styles specifies building blocks for Web APIs that enable map servers and clients as well as visual style editors to manage and fetch styles.
