OGC API #30
Description
Status quo
We provide a RESTful API which does not follow any official specification.
Improvement
The OGC API will be the next step in automatical exchange of data for spatial infrastructures, since it's the first draft for a new specification.
The OGC API has been presented in many videos on YT as well, including a presentation from FOSSGIS 2020 Freiburg,Germany.
The idea of this API follows a modern RESTful design and is therefore extremely interesting!
But since this is just a draft of a final specification, we would have to keep track on changes and maintain them in our system as well
New app
It would be best practice to create a new app ogcApi instead of extending the existing api app. This way we could maintain the code more easily instead of digging through different files, which are not related to the ogc api itself but our regular api.
Specification
It is very important to read and understand the specifications draft before implementation!
All routes have to follow the design and behaviour that is described in there.
