Re: [Qgis-developer] Manipulating JSON files from Python

Hi Noli, Thanks for your hint, but as Peteris said, I am not dealing with flat data structure (tabular data), but with nested data structure (more like typical xml files). I think I will try with the builtin json module as most people suggested. Andreas Am 15.11.2012 08:49, schrieb Noli Sicad:

Hi Andreas, what you describe is where I use tiles. My city map is a QGIS project with around 25 layers, lots of labels (street names) and elements. I use mapcache (standalone) for that and of course it would be nice to have that integrated in QGIS server but it was not hard to configure it

What I really miss in QGIS server compared to UNM mapserver is the possibility to keep a certain space around the edge of the generated output free of labels (UMN Mapserver has had that already in V 5.? or even earlier). This is a must-have if we want to integrate mapcache because otherwise

A very short answer here : have you checked the Lizmap ability to create automatic tile cache ? It supports metatiling too. As I know, it is the only open-source solution which can simply use a QGIS project, build a map and dynamically create tile caching with metatile support. Sorry for this
