About direct conversion

[curtis18]

@bdon Thanks for your software. May I ask is there any plan to support converting GeoJSON to PMTiles directly? or is there any plan to integrate it with GDAL like MVT?

[bdon]

Direct GeoJSON to PMTiles is done via https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe . GDAL does have a basic "MVT" output but it attempts to act as a translator and is not a special-purpose generalization tool, so the results will always be worse. There are no particular plans to implement PMTiles in GDAL for this reason.

Thanks for your clear explanation. May I ask also can PMTiles methodology work for 3D tiles like b3dm format? as it is a non single-file archive format as well.

I'm not familiar with b3dm. If it uses a pyramid addressing scheme like 0/0/0, 1/0/0, 1/0/1 etc then you can create a pmtiles archive with tile type 0 = other/unknown.
