A WMTS is an XML file, which is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered or run-time computed georeferenced map tiles over the Internet.

Basically, WMTS request the capabilities, tile, featureinfo, or legend and return all the information into the map.

There a lot of WMTS service you can find in the Interent, but my interest is only for Sarawak region. So I write an XML capabilities to fetch various map tiles from it sources. The pre-rendered map tiles from difference sources such as Mapbox, OpenStreetmap, Carto, Strava and my own tiles has been added into the WMTS capabilities.
