Upload file as layer
Uploads spatial data, processes it, and adds it as a layer to the specified map.
Supported formats:
- Vector: Shapefile (as .zip), GeoJSON, GeoPackage, FlatGeobuf
- Raster: GeoTIFF, DEM
- Point cloud: LAZ, LAS
Once uploaded, Mundi transforms, reprojects, styles, and creates optimized formats for display in the browser. Vector data is converted to PMTiles while raster data is converted to cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs. Point cloud data is compressed to LAZ 1.3.
Returns the new layer details including its unique layer ID. The layer can optionally not be added to the map, but will be faster to add to an existing map later.
