Vector tiles

Description

This sample shows how to add a VectorTileLayer to a map. A VectorTileLayer displays cached data in vector format, making the styles of its layers customizable on the client.

Unlike image caches, vector tiles contain data for rendering the tile information. Because the data in VectorTileLayer is vector, it is stored in individual layers containing geometry, attributes, and styles that may be customized by the developer client-side.
