Map Context

Define a JavaScript structure to represent the current map context. This will be translated into and extended WMC doc and can also be translated (with losses) to a short string for permalinks.

A MapContext control will be responsible for setting/getting the current state of the map. The context structure can be serialized with the JSON format and will be an acceptable input for the WMC format.

JS structure for WMC

The Javascript Structure of the Web Map Context can be defined in this space.

JSON WMC example:
