[GeoServer](https://geoserver.org) is an open source software server written in Java that 
allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Designed for interoperability, it publishes data from 
any major spatial data source using open standards.

Being a community-driven project, GeoServer is developed, tested, and supported by a diverse group of 
individuals and organizations from around the world.

## Standards

GeoServer forms a core component of the Geospatial Web with full support of geospatial standards.

GeoServer is the reference implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) 
Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards, as well as a high performance 
certified compliant Web Map Service (WMS). GeoServer implements additional standards
including OGC API - Features, Catalog Service for the Web (CSW), and implementing Web Processing Service (WPS).
These services supports a wide range of data formats, with GeoServer actings as the reference implementation for GeoPackage and GeoTIFF formats, and implementing support for GML and de facto formats like Shapefile.
