 Vector Data Tutorial
 ====================
 
-Base layers such as OpenStreetMap and Google Maps are generally distributed in pre-rendered tiles using file formats such as PNG or JPG.  While these are great for **displaying** maps, they are not very useful for getting at the **data** behind a map, to provide functionality such as informational popups, selection and highlighting of individual features, and editing of data.  For these, you need to use **vector** data, provided through file formats such as KML, GeoJSON, or GML which provide information about each feature on the map, rather than just the pixels to put on the screen.

 .. note:: Modern web browsers impose a single-site restriction on JavaScript code to protect users from cross-site scripting attacks.  This means that if your GeoExt application is hosted on a different host or port from your vector data, you will need to configure a proxy service.  See :doc:`/proxying` for more information.
