# MapStore
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is an **Open Source** highly modular webgis framework developed by [GeoSolutions](https://www.geo-solutions.it/) to create, manage and securely share maps and mashups. This simple and intuitive framework mixes contents served from servers like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing or from other servers adehering to OGC standards like WFS, CSW, WMS, WMTS and TMS. It is installed and configured on a Web application server so multiple users can access the site using Web browsers. It is used to find, view, and query published geospatial data and to integrate multiple sources into a single map view that can be easily navigated. Furthermore, with the release of the new version, this software allows the user to create dashboards for hosting widgets such as mini-maps, statistical charts, tables and much more.
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is an highly modular **Open Source** WebGIS framework developed by [GeoSolutions](https://www.geo-solutions.it/) to create, manage and securely
share maps and mashups. This simple and intuitive framework is able to mix map contents provided by Google Maps, OpenStreetMap,
Bing or other servers compliant to OGC standards like WFS, CSW, WMC, WMS, WMTS and TMS.
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is used to find, view and query published geospatial data and to integrate multiple remote sources into a single map; the result is
an high quality and user friendly framework that allows different kind of use cases by harmonizing remote data with smart and advanced
functionalities (like chart widgets, dashboards, timelines and others).
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) resources are not only related to Maps but also Dashboards and Stories; in [MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) you can create your own innovative and fascinating
Application Context where users can save, manage and share its own resources by also managing access permissions to other groups of users.

[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) aims to be both a product and a webgis framework. As a standard geoportal product, it is a web-based product for map visualization and analysis that enables you to build a geospatial interactive web site or web service. It provides a direct and real-time access to geospatial data warehouses of all the geospatial formats supported. It also provides all the spatial analysis functionality. This means that you can use it to build a web site that gives to thin clients, with nothing more than a web browser, a powerful, dynamic, and open geospatial application, previously available only in a desktop application. It is also a framework in the sense that it can be used as starting point to build sophisticated geospatial applications. It does not depend explicitly on any mapping engine but it can work with [OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/) , [LeafletJS](https://leafletjs.com/) and [Cesium 3D viewer](https://cesiumjs.org/) ensuring the greatest flexibility when one wants to use it as a framework.
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is not only a product but also a WebGIS framework. As a standard geoportal product, it is a web-based product that allows to provide
a powerfull and interactive geospatial WebGIS, it provides a direct and real-time access to geospatial data warehouses and it supports all available

standards formats for geospatial data.
[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) also provides advanced spatial analysis capabilities that can be used to build WebGIS solutions through a powerful, dynamic and open
geospatial application. Since [MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is also a framework, you can use it to build your own WebGIS applications by using its plugins and modules.

[MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) has been designed from the beginning to provide users with a coherent and comprehensive experience across different devices, hence it should automatically adapt to different screen size as shown later.
Last but not the least, [MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) is map agnostic and ensures the greatest flexibility: its abstraction tier allows to [MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) to work with different web mapping libraries.
The supported mapping engines currently supported by [MapStore](https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/#/) are [OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/) (used by default for desktops), [LeafletJS](https://leafletjs.com/) (used by default for mobile devices) and [Cesium 3D viewer](https://cesiumjs.org/).

MapStore has been designed from the beginning to provide a coherent and comprehensive experience across different devices types.
