WMS (Web Map Service) Reader

The Web Map Service (WMS) Reader allows FME to retrieve spatially referenced raster maps from a WMS-compliant server.

Overview

WMS is an OpenGIS® Implementation Specification. The WMS specification defines three HTTP operations:

  • GetCapabilities
  • GetMap
  • GetFeatureInfo

Only the GetCapabilities and GetMap operations are supported in this implementation.

The WMS reader adheres to versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.3.0 of the WMS specification.
