mapfish 2.2

The MapFish web-mapping framework.

MapFish
=======

MapFish is a Pylons-based web framework with GIS orientations.

MapFish provides:

* a geometry type which is to be used when mapping PostGIS tables
with SQLAlchemy

* a paster command to generate model and controller mode
corresponding to layers (PostGIS tables) defined in a
configuration file

* an implementation of a RESTful protocols for creating, reading,
updating, and deleting geographic objects (features)

MapFish relies on the geojson and shapely packages, see
http://gispython.org.

MapFish projects are Pylons projects, the project developer
therefore fully benefits from the power of Pylons and its
companion components (SQLAlchemy, Mako, etc.).
