Mapnik XML for .mapbox format

[mousebird]

Is there a Mapnik XML style file corresponding to what you're sending back for the Mapnik vector tiles (e.g. .mapbox extension)?

Unfortunately there isn't, because these tiles are being generated entirely outside of the Mapnik toolchain, so there's no need for one. All the queries are available here though, so it is theoretically possible to generate one from that. I don't think we will be doing that soon though as it's outside of our use cases.

One of the goals of this project is actually to provide a non-Mapnik example of how to generate vector tiles in this format (though I know some tools may still find a Mapnik XML file useful for compatibility).

Ah, that's too bad. I parse Mapnik XML directly in Maply for this style of vector tile.

Is there some sort of style information associated with these tiles? Perhaps I can use that.

What type of info are you looking for? There's no real concept of native
styling for these tiles since they are intended to be styled client-side.
Maybe you have a broader definition of "style" though...

How about this. Is there a catalog of attributes you'd expect to find in the various layers?

Actually, I see the listing of attributes on the docs page.

success :)
