Geo data visualization is one of the major areas affected by the rapid technology growth of modern browsers as well as client side scripting languages. It enables to develop standalone as well as distributed applications which enables to visualize large amount of geodata in informative manner.GViz Framework is a geo data visualization framework which basically built using JavaScript and freely available visualization API's & Libraries.
It supports data source integration through data providers (e.g: Google Doc, CSV File, XML File,JSON File, XML String, JSON String, CSV String etc.) implemented in the framework and it provides extendable & simple API to write custom data providers.
The data is described using Data Set Publishing Language (DSPL) which uses a XML Schema. The Framework uses both the regular DSPL Schema with JavaScript configuration and Extended DSPL Schema to support direct configuration of Data Providers & Visualization Components (Vizcomps).To visualize data GViz utilizes existing visualization components(e.g Maps, Charts , Graphs etc.) as well as keeping the flexibility through API to add new custom components.
Few of the features of GViz is categorized as below,
- Rich set of popular components
- Configurable visualization
- Facilitate data binding to sources
- Easy integration
- Independent from server side technology
Using GViz Framework consists of following 3 steps,
That's all you need to build a exiting web dashboard or a webpage with rich set of visualization components connecting with different data sources.
You can find GViz Framework Source Code At: Google Code - GViz Framework. More information of using GViz framework will be added to the next blog post.
- Prepare DSPL document
- Add GViz to the webpage
- Configure Providers & VizComps
