Hi GeoServer community,

Is there a lightweight way of getting the bounding box of a specific layer
through GeoServer? I am trying to get the bounds of a layer so I can zoom
in on it automatically on Leaflet.

Through some googling, I know you can get the bounds of a layer via the
*GetCapabilities* request from WMS, but the file generated by the call can
be large (if there are a lot of layers and styles in GeoServer, as is in my
use case) and you would have to parse it (slow if lots of layers). Is there
no simple way of making a query specifically for the bounding box of a
layer in GeoServer? It doesn't even have to use WMS.

Thanks,
JJ Barea
