MapAdmin

MapAdmin is a web administration interface and a PHP wrapper around MapServer which allows to manipulate mapfiles in a RESTFul way. It has been developped to match as close as possible the way the GeoServer REST API acts.

It is Free and Open Source Software. All contributions are most welcome!
