# Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) Capabilities Parsing

wmts, capabilities, getcapabilities

The WMTS Capabilities format allows for parsing of capabilities documents from OGC Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) version 1.0.0 implementations.

This example creates an OpenLayers.Layer.WMTS layer to based on the results of parsing a capabilities doc with the OpenLayers.Format.WMTSCapabilities parser.

See the wmts-capabilities.js source to see how this is done.
