Hello everyone, I am working on creating a Vector Tiling Service that will allow me serve my GIS data all the way from the storage to the map client as vector without loosing any attributes as opposed to raster tiling. Is their any current implementation and/ or some literature on some work that has been done that I could use as m reference? Theoretically it is documented that it is possible and would be more efficient than the current rendering standards such as WMS, WFS, Raster tiling or even the use of GEOJSON and XML which are readable but very large in size sometimes freezing the browser if the file is large enough. Any one with some material on this please share! My motivation is based on this question on stack exchange

I would say vector tiling could be an alternative approach for publish vector data on the web. But due to the limited size of a screen, I would rather to merge or omit some vector layers for a better layout view. When zoom out, less vector layers should be displayed. Take the road system layer, when zoom out, pathways should not be displayed. This can be done by setting the max and min scale of the layer. And when zoom in, pathways which fall out of the view should not be transferred to the browser, this can be done by an overlapping process at the server end.
