Support for TileJSON

[bchartier]

I would suggest to support the TileJSON spec in some way. This would allow some MVT client apps expecting a TileJSON URL to use Postile. I'm thinking about the Vector Tiles Reader plugin for QGIS for instance.

i don't know if postile should serve the tilejson, you can already create your tilejson referencing a postile endpoint with this simple content :

{
    "tilejson": "1.0.0",
    "name": "OpenStreetMap",
    "description": "A free editable map of the whole world.",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "attribution": "(c) OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA",
    "scheme": "xyz",
    "tiles": [
        "http://localhost:8080/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"
    ],
    "minzoom": 0,
    "maxzoom": 18,
    "bounds": [ -180, -85, 180, 85 ]
}

then you can test your tilejson file here : http://trailbehind.github.io/TilejsonTester/

we could simply add a --tilejson tilejson.json and serve it at /tilejson.json, but no idea if it's the best place for that.

I think the idea is more to generate a tilejson from tm2source, but not only to serve one.

@frodrigo yes indeed, besides I already implemented it, coming in the next version !

[frodrigo]

@ldgeo I search for commit of tilejson, but not found, there is?

[ldgeo]

@frodrigo no i didn't push the branch having this commit. I'm currently working on a fork of Postile rewrited with fastapi and mbtiles writing support. I will release it on a different organization. I will ping you when it's done.

[frodrigo]

Ok, thank for your return.

I think the project is not going on the way I need for my work. Production tile generator for OpenMapTiles with tilejson. I don't need for style or mbtiles support, since I already provide this part in an other way.
