Abstract
Today's web browsers, their renderers and JavaScript interpreters are able to
display relatively big amounts of vector data. Moving from DOM rendering to
Canvas (and further to WebGL) enables us to display thousands of vector
features. With this possibility, new problem has to be solved: how to send such
amount of data through limited internet connection? Presentation will
demonstrate some possible solutions for this problem, using tiled vectors,
generalization, TopoJSON format and other.
