  • Accessible to any HTTP enabled client through a REST interface: JavaScript mashup, ActionScript mashup, iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia / Symbian S60, Android, Palm Pre, etc.
  • Broad support for message formats: XML, JSON, Little JSON, HTML, KML, GPX, CSV and binary.
  • Native JDBC-like interface for ActionScript 3 clients. Uses compact binary message format like AMF to minimize payload size and network bandwidth. Built on a streaming transport (flash.net.URLStream) to shrink response latency.
  • Optimized for queries relevant to a Google, Microsoft or MapQuest map.
  • Semantic query capability through the support for unlimited tagging through your custom ontology.
