Namespaces¶

A namespace is a uniquely identifiable grouping of feature types. It is identified by a prefix and a URI.

`/namespaces[.<format>]`¶

Method	Action	Status code	Formats	Default Format
GET	List all namespaces	200	HTML, XML, JSON	HTML
POST	Create a new namespace	201 with `Location` header	XML, JSON
PUT		405
DELETE		405

Controls a particular namespace.

Method	Action	Status code	Formats	Default Format	Parameters
GET	Return namespace `ns`	200	HTML, XML, JSON	HTML	quietOnNotFound
POST		405

Exception	Status code
GET for a namespace that does not exist	404
