A data source is an object that connects a feature iterator, a renderer, and a map layer. It uses the feature iterator to get global data information, such as the coordinate system and bounding box, and the list of map features to parse. Then it uses the renderer to create graphic objects. Finally, it uses the layer to manage the order and style of those objects (see Using Data Sources).
