[software]
In ArcGIS software, a persistent software process that provides access to spatial and non-spatial data. Feature services can contain feature layers - used with spatial data, and tables - used with non-spatial data. Client applications can use a feature service to query and edit data attributes, geometry, related data, and attachments, and to access and display features. A feature service supports data queries in different formats such as JSON, GeoJSON, or XML.
