Datasource	Description	Support	Example
DBM	The DBM datasource uses anydbm combined with pickle to store features in a file on disk. This works on any platform, and works right out of the box. Info The BerkleyDB datasource is a subclass of the DBM datasource. It uses a BerkleyDB module for storage.		config
Flickr	Load images from flickr.		config
GeoAlchemy	GeoAlchemy is an extension of SQLAlchemy, the python database toolkit, for spatial databases. GeoAlchemy datasource for FeatureServer allows you to access features stored in one of the supported spatial databases. As the moment GeoAlchemy supports PostGIS, MySQL and Spatialite.		config
OGR	The OGR datasource allows you to take any OGR datasource -- such as a shapefile, PostGIS database, GML file, or other formats supported by OGR -- and use it as a backend for a FeatureServer layer.		config
OSM	Load streets from OpenStreetMap by area, id, or key/value pair.		config
PostGIS	The PostGIS datasource implements a direct connection to PostGIS, allowing for full featured editing/updating.	WFS WFS-T FE	config
SpatialLite new	SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities.	WFS WFS-T FE	config
SQLite	A simple SQLite datasource that can be used on any website with Python support for SQLite. Creates 2 tables for each layer: one for the features, and one for any attributes/properties pertaining to those features.		config
Twitter	Powered by Twittervision, the twitter datasource lets you use twittervision's API to display the current location of a user.		config
WFS	The WFS datasource implements read-only access to WFS servers.		config

Service	Description	Exception/Error Output new
CSV	Outputs each attribute of a feature as a separate column and the geomtry as WKT.	example
DXF (AutoCAD) new	Compatible with release 11 and 12, points, polyline (linestring), polygon	not supported
GeoJSON	input and output in the emerging GeoJSON specification. FeatureServer supports GeoJSON Points, Lines, and Polygons with Rings, as both input and output.	example
GeoRSS Atom (Simple)	input and output of Points/Lines/Polygons (no rings/holes) in GeoRSS Simple (Atom). This allows one to take any GeoRSS Simple Atom feed and feed it to FeatureServer for storage.	example
GML/WFS	Output-only support of WFS/GML.	example
GPX new	GPX (the GPS Exchange Format) is a light-weight XML data format for the interchange of GPS data (waypoints, routes, and tracks) between applications and Web services on the Internet. E.g. it can be used for Garmin devices. Info Points are converted to `wpt` and LineStrings to `trkseg`. Polygons are first converted to LineString and then treated as LineString.	not supported if you think it is needed please leave a message on the mailing list.
HTML	Output-only support of features as HTML files, powered by Cheetah templates.	example
KML	Input and output of Points, Lines, and Polygons from KML.	not supported if you think it is needed please leave a message on the mailing list.
OSM	Output-only support of features as OpenStreetMap '.osm' files. (These files can be opened using JOSM and posted to the OSM server.)	not supported if you think it is needed please leave a message on the mailing list.
OV2 new	TomTom Points of Interest Database	not supported
Shapefile new	The Esri shapefile or simply a shapefile is a popular geospatial vector data format for geographic information systems software. It is developed and regulated by Esri as a (mostly) open specification for data interoperability among Esri and other software products.	not supported
SQLite/SpatiaLite new	SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities.	not supported
