Vector tiles, tiled vectors or vectiles [1] are packets of geographic data, packaged into pre-defined roughly-square shaped "tiles" for transfer over the web. This is an emerging method for delivering styled web maps, combining certain benefits of pre-rendered raster map tiles with vector map data.
A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...
Leaflet supports Web Map Service (WMS) layers, GeoJSON layers, Vector layers and Tile layers natively. Many other types of layers are supported via plugins.. Like other web map libraries, the basic display model implemented by Leaflet is one basemap, plus zero or more translucent overlays, with zero or more vector objects displayed on top.

These tiles are rendered on the client side by a library such as the Mapbox Maps SDK, MapLibre, Mapzen's Tangrams, or OpenLayers. Applications such as Mapbox Studio allow designers to author vector styles in an interactive, visual environment. [85] Vector maps are especially common among three-dimensional mapping applications and mobile ...
A simple vector map, using each of the vector elements: points for wells, lines for rivers, and a polygon for the lake A vector dataset (sometimes called a feature dataset) stores information about discrete objects, using an encoding of the vector logical data model to represent the location or geometry of each object, and an encoding of its ...
Simple Features – specification for vector data storage (by Open Geospatial Consortium) that can be used in a GML container; GeoJSON – open, lightweight format based on JSON, used by many open source GIS packages; GeoMedia – Microsoft Access based format for spatial vector storage (by Intergraph)
The schema defines data and metadata tables with specified definitions, integrity assertions, format limitations and content constraints. [ 9 ] The GeoPackage standard describes a set of conventions (requirements) for storing vector features, tile matrix sets of imagery and raster maps at various scales, schema and metadata.
