MBSource (Geotools modules 31-SNAPSHOT API)

Object
- MBSource

Direct Known Subclasses:

GeoJsonMBSource, MediaMBSource, TileMBSource
```
public abstract class MBSource
extends Object
```
Wrapper around a JSONObject containing the "sources" in a Mapbox style. Mapbox sources supply data to be shown on the map. The type of source is specified by the "type" property, and must be one of vector, raster, geojson, image, video, canvas.
"Layers refer to a source and give it a visual representation. This makes it possible to style the same source in different ways, like differentiating between types of roads in a highways layer."
Internally we use a wtms end-point to refer to the data source:
```
 "us-states": {
    "type": "vector",
    "url": "https://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/service/wmts#us:states"
 }
 
```
This is based on the following request for a single file::
```
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/service/wmts?
   REQUEST=GetTile&SERVICE=WMTS&VERSION=1.0.0&
   LAYER=dfs:ne_110m_coastline&STYLE=&TILEMATRIX=EPSG:4326:2&TILEMATRIXSET=EPSG:4326&
   FORMAT=application/x-protobuf;type=mapbox-vector
   &TILECOL=3&TILEROW=1
```
