Hi Pieter, I am not sure I am getting your question.
The format itself is described on geojson.org, but that's not your question I presume. In OpenLayers a Protocol class will handle the interaction with the service. So for instance we have a Protocol.WFS which can talk to a Web Feature Service. MapFish has written a Protocol.MapFish which extends Protocol.HTTP. Probably this ticket which got included in the 2.9 release is also of interest: http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2393 Best regards, Bart -- Looking for flexible support on OpenLayers or GeoExt?
