Resumen:
Associated with the ubiquity of spatial information nowadays, several tools which foster the
development of web Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have emerged. Although there are a
large number of solutions, many are complex, requiring specific skills from developers. Therefore,
there is a need for a tool that simplifies the process of developing and publishing a web GIS
application, with the advantage of being open source. In our study, we present NodeGIS, an open
source tool that provides a graphical interface for the development of web GIS applications, without
code writing or complex server configuration. NodeGIS uses a container-based architecture, using
REST and facilitating the deployment of a web GIS application. The presented tool allows the user to
plot vector maps, perform overlay and customization operations, zooming, panning, tooltip,
conventional and spatial attribute queries. NodeGIS can also be used for teaching GIS, requiring no
software installation from students.
