Java Vector Tiles

A java encoder and decoder for vector tiles according to Mapbox vector tile spec

Encode a vector tile

VectorTileEncoder encoder = new VectorTileEncoder();

// Add one or more features with a layer name, a Map with attributes and a JTS Geometry. 
// The Geometry uses (0,0) in lower left and (256,256) in upper right.
encoder.addFeature("road", attributes, geometry);

// Finally, get the byte array
byte[] encoded = encoder.encode();
