mmmod

Mapserver map modification tool using SLD protocol

Mmmod is a web application developed in JavaScript that enables MapServer .map configuration files to be read, interpreted and edited. Its main purpose is to modify the styles of the map while visualizing the changes in real time using the OpenLayers open-source viewer.

The application was created to solve the problem of editing MapServer .map configuration files without having direct access to or the necessary resources to recreate the main WMS server.

The need to manually edit hundreds of text files combined with the inability to visualize these changes in real time made it impossible to directly modify the MapServer format without a tool with these characteristics.

Mmmod was developed in collaboration with Territoria.
