PMTiles (for Rust)

This crate implements the PMTiles v3 spec, originally created by Brandon Liu for Protomaps.

Features

• Opening and validating PMTile archives
• Querying tiles
• Backends supported:
  • Async mmap (Tokio) for local files
  • Async http and https (Reqwest + Tokio) for URLs
  • Async s3 (Rust-S3 + Tokio) for S3-compatible buckets
  • Async s3/azure/gcp/fs/http/mem/custom (object_store)
• Creating PMTile archives

Plans & TODOs

• Documentation and example code
• Support conversion to and from MBTiles + x/y/z
• Support additional backends (sync mmap and http at least)
• Support additional async styles (e.g., async-std)

PRs welcome!

Usage examples

Reading from a local PMTiles file

use bytes::Bytes;
use pmtiles::{AsyncPmTilesReader, TileCoord};

async fn get_tile(z: u8, x: u32, y: u32) -> Option<Bytes> {
  let file = "example.pmtiles";
  // Use `new_with_cached_path` for better performance
  let reader = AsyncPmTilesReader::new_with_path(file).await.unwrap();
  let coord = TileCoord::new(z, x, y).unwrap();
  reader.get_tile(coord).await.unwrap()
}

Reading from a URL with a simple directory cache

This example uses a simple hashmap-based cache to optimize reads from a PMTiles source. The same caching is available for all other methods. Note that HashMapCache is a rudimentary cache without eviction. You may want to build a more sophisticated cache for production use by implementing the DirectoryCache trait.

use bytes::Bytes;
use pmtiles::{AsyncPmTilesReader, HashMapCache, TileCoord};
use pmtiles::reqwest::Client;  // Re-exported Reqwest crate

async fn get_tile(z: u8, x: u32, y: u32) -> Option<Bytes> {
  let cache = HashMapCache::default();
  let client = Client::builder().use_rustls_tls().build().unwrap();
  let url = "https://protomaps.github.io/PMTiles/protomaps(vector)ODbL_firenze.pmtiles";
  let reader = AsyncPmTilesReader::new_with_cached_url(cache, client, url).await.unwrap();
  let coord = TileCoord::new(z, x, y).unwrap();
  reader.get_tile(coord).await.unwrap()
}

Reading from an S3 bucket with a directory cache

AWS client configuration is fairly none-trivial to document here. See AWS SDK documentation for more details.

use bytes::Bytes;
use pmtiles::{AsyncPmTilesReader, HashMapCache, TileCoord};
use pmtiles::aws_sdk_s3::Client; // Re-exported AWS SDK S3 client

async fn get_tile(client: Client, z: u8, x: u32, y: u32) -> Option<Bytes> {
  let cache = HashMapCache::default();
  let bucket = "https://s3.example.com".to_string();
  let key = "example.pmtiles".to_string();
  let reader = AsyncPmTilesReader::new_with_cached_client_bucket_and_path(cache, client, bucket, key).await.unwrap();
  let coord = TileCoord::new(z, x, y).unwrap();
  reader.get_tile(coord).await.unwrap()
}

Writing to a PMTiles file

use pmtiles::{PmTilesWriter, TileType, TileCoord};
use std::fs::File;

let file = File::create("example.pmtiles").unwrap();
let mut writer = PmTilesWriter::new(TileType::Mvt).create(file).unwrap();
let coord = TileCoord::new(0, 0, 0).unwrap();
writer.add_tile(coord, &[/*...*/]).unwrap();
writer.finalize().unwrap();
