Creating vector tilesets with the Mapbox Tiling Service
summary
Uses Mapbox Tiling Service to convert two NYC open datasets — school points (shapefile) and parks polygons (GeoJSON) — into line‑delimited GeoJSON LD with ogr2ogr, uploads them as tile set sources via the tilesets CLI, assembles a recipe.json that combines the two layers, and issues a publish command; processing completes in about two minutes and the resulting vector tileset loads in Mapbox GL JS with separate parks and schools layers.
