See MapFish in action!






MapFish is an easy-to-use and extensible web 2.0 mapping application framework.

MapFish is composed of two parts: MapFish Client and MapFish Server. MapFish Client is a JavaScript framework based on OpenLayers for the mapping part, and on ExtJS for the GUI (widgets) part. MapFish Server is responsible for server side treatments and composed of several modules which can be implemented in several languages such as Python, Java, PHP.

MapFish is intended to be easy to use either as a standalone application or as an add on to an already existing web application. For example the printing server modules implements high ends functionnalities such as raster/vector multi sources combinations, integration of complex table. Some other OSGeo projects like Geoserver plan to integrate this function and are very pleased to use MapFish for that purpose.

As a standalone application, MapFish offers ways to simply configure some parameters and quickly have a working web mapping application. As a framework, MapFish lets you develop advanced and customized webmapping applications. MapFish API also allows maps to be simply included in an already existing website such as CMS or Information System oriented applications.

MapFish takes advantage of the Open Source philosophy by nicely aggregating several existing OS libraries such as SQLAlchemyGeoJSONShapely and JTS.

The strengths of MapFish reside in the integration of several components and the support of the latest Web 2.0 technology. This allows the creation of advanced Mapping solutions.

There is plans to use MapFish modular architecture to use some component for standalone integration into other project or applications (MapFish core libs)

An administration tool, named geoadminsuite, is under creation and will simplify the configuration work and will allow to create new MapFish applications.
