Vector Tiles Quick Start¶

import io.tileverse.vectortile.mvt.VectorTileCodec;
import io.tileverse.vectortile.model.VectorTile;

VectorTileCodec codec = VectorTileCodec.getDefault();
byte[] mvtBytes = ...; // Load from file, network, etc.

VectorTile tile = codec.decode(mvtBytes);

// Iterate layers and features
for (VectorTile.Layer layer : tile.getLayers()) {
    System.out.println("Layer: " + layer.getName());
    for (VectorTile.Layer.Feature feature : layer.getFeatures()) {
        System.out.println("  Feature ID: " + feature.getId());
        System.out.println("  Geometry: " + feature.getGeometry());
        System.out.println("  Attributes: " + feature.getAttributes());
    }
}

import io.tileverse.vectortile.mvt.VectorTileBuilder;

VectorTileBuilder builder = VectorTileBuilder.create();

builder.layer("poi")
    .feature()
        .geometry(point)
        .attributes(Map.of("name", "Restaurant"));

VectorTile tile = builder.build();
byte[] mvtBytes = codec.encode(tile);
