For Developers,
Learn more about the powerful development features of GeoNode.
GeoNode is built upon a platform of proven open source components including Django, GeoServer, pycsw, OpenLayers and GeoExt. GeoNode implements many Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, including Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Coverage Service (WCS), KML, and Catalogue Service for Web (CSW). GeoNode development also contributes to the underlying open source projects and software libraries.
Features include:
GeoNode leverages the Django web framework, offering a friendly and extensible environment for web developers accustomed to using any modern MVC web framework. In contrast with many geospatial tools which force web developers to adapt to a GIS context, GeoNode and Django offer a framework on which developers can build geospatial web applications in a familiar environment.
Django has a large user base and ecosystem of apps, making it easy to develop websites focused on users and collaboration.
Features Include:
GeoNode's front-end is based on the popular and flexible React and Bootstrap frameworks.React is used along with Redux and Rxjs to drive the user interface, and Bootstrap CSS is used to style the pages. Both of these frameworks make it easy to theme and customize your own GeoNode implementation if desired.
Features include:
GeoNode supports multiple points for application integration. Features include:
GeoNode is a social platform. GeoNode's foundational components make it easy to interact with other GeoNode deployments, external OGC services as well as with many other popular social services and tools.
