OGC API - Tiled features demonstration
======================================

This module provides an example of extending the OGC API - Features module with a building block
from OGC API - Tiles, used for tiled access to raw vector data (the vector tiles modules is included).

This module is not required to use vector tiles, it's also possible to use OGC API - Tiles
directly, see :ref:`ogcapi-tiles`, along with the installation of the vector tiles extension.

Installing the GeoServer OGC API tiled features module
------------------------------------------------------

#. Download the OGC API nightly GeoServer community module from :download_community:`ogcapi-tiled-features`.
   
   .. warning:: Verify that the version number in the filename corresponds to the version of GeoServer you are running (for example geoserver-|release|-ogcapi-tiled-features-plugin.zip above).

#. Extract the contents of the archive into the ``WEB-INF/lib`` directory of the GeoServer installation.

#. On restart the services are listed at http://localhost:8080/geoserver
