Abstract:
Nowadays, several tools which foster the development of Web Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have emerged, associated with the outspread of spatial information. Although there are many solutions, most of them are complex, requiring specific skills from users. Therefore, there exists a demand for a solution that simplifies the process of developing and deploying Web GIS applications. This paper presents NodeGIS, an open-source tool that provides a graphical interface for developing Web GIS applications without code writing or complex server configuration. NodeGIS enables the user to plot vector maps, to perform overlay and customization operations, zooming, panning, tooltip, and spatial and non-spatial queries. NodeGIS uses a container-based and Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, thus facilitating the deployment of Web GIS applications. NodeGIS can also be used to teach GIS, requiring no software installation from students.
