I also recommend YSLD as the best of both worlds. To compare I recommend the style workshop exercises <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/workshop/index.html> which produce the same content in each styling flavour.
YSLD 1. It is a one-to-one mapping to SLD (so it does exactly what you ask) and it is not in XML (why SDL indeed). It uses indentation to communicate the structure rather than XML tags. 1. It is also willing to fill in the blanks for boiler-plate XML that is not very interesting (so only write what you need): >From line exercise <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/workshop/ysld/linestring.html> : line: stroke-color: blue stroke-width: 2px stroke-dasharray: 5 2 1. You can also define and reuse snippets to prevent having to copy and paste define: &stroke stroke-color: 'gray' stroke-width: 0.5 rules: - filter: ${mapcolor9 = '1'} scale: [min, max] symbolizers: - polygon: <<: *stroke fill-color: '#8DD3C7' - filter: ${mapcolor9 = '2'} scale: [min, max] symbolizers: - polygon: <<: *stroke fill-color: '#FFFFB3' 1. Tip: Also you can convert between different styles using GeoServer REST API: To access the default data directory SLD: - *http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/styles/states.sld?pretty=true <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/styles/states.sld?pretty=true>* To convert to YSLD: - http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/styles/states.yaml The same approach can be used to convert a YSLD style to SLD if you wish to go back to plain SLD. This also works for converting CSS to YSLD or SLD (so please experiment without fear of lock-in forever). Just do not write SLD by hand :) -- Jody Garnett On Jun 20, 2023 at 6:21:22 PM, Miguel Ángel Parrilla Godínez via Geoserver-users <geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Thanks Ian. > > > > Miguel Ángel. > > > > *De:* Ian Turton <ijtur...@gmail.com> > *Enviado el:* martes, 20 de junio de 2023 18:16 > *Para:* Miguel Ángel Parrilla Godínez <maparri...@itracasa.es> > *CC:* geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net > *Asunto:* Re: [Externo] [Geoserver-users] Styled marks shape dot does not > work in geoserver version 2.23.1 > > > > *ADVERTENCIA: *Este correo electrónico se originó fuera de Tracasa > Instrumental.
