GeoServer is a J2EE-based software server that complies with OpenGIS standards. It lets you publish, update, delete, and insert geospatial data from PolarDB for PostgreSQL, and share spatial information over standard web protocols.
GeoServer implements the Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It supports PostgreSQL, Shapefile, ArcSDE, Oracle, VPF, MySQL, and MapInfo as data sources, along with projections in hundreds of formats. Output formats include JPEG, GIF, PNG, SVG, and KML. GeoServer runs in any Java-based or Servlet-based container and integrates with OpenLayers to render interactive maps in Map Builder using AJAX requests.
