What is WFS in GeoServer?
The Web Feature Service (WFS) is a standard created by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for creating, modifying and exchanging vector format geographic information on the Internet using HTTP. A WFS encodes and transfers information in Geography Markup Language (GML), a subset of XML.
How do I add a feature to WFS?
Right-click a layer and click either Add to new map or Add to current map to add the WFS layer to the map. You can also add the service to the map by dragging it onto the map or into the Contents pane. The WFS item is added to the map.
How to use WFS in Qgis?
