QGIS Web Client (QWC) is a modular next generation responsive web client for QGIS Server, built with ReactJS and OpenLayers. This presentation gives a short introduction to the QWC project and presents new developments.
The QGIS Web Client (QWC) provides publication of QGIS projects on the web with the same look and feel as QGIS Desktop, thanks to QGIS Server. The environment consists of a modern web application written in JavaScript using ReactJS and OpenLayers, and the qwc-services, an ecosystem of server-side Python/Flask microservices that can be used, for example, to manage user rights and edit geospatial data within the web application. This presentation gives a short introduction to the QWC project and presents new developments, e.g. the 3D view, which was developed using THREE.JS and Giro3D.
