UTFGrid support in mod_tile?

0

Does mod_tile support UTFGrids? If not, are there any plans to implement this in the near future? Thanks.

mod_tile doesn't currently support UTFGrids. I'm not aware of any work on implementing it at the moment, but of course it could be implemented at any time.

See mbtiles implementations for servers that support stored UTFGrid data - chief amongst them TileStream, TileStache, and python-mbtiles

By the looks of it UTFGrids are just json tiles from the serving point of view. As mod_tile can support serving json tiles, it should probably be able to serve UTFGrid data. However, you need to get the UTFGrid data into the meta-tile file format for mod_tile to serve it and I am not sure if any application that generates UTFGrid can currently do this.
