How to Load Shape Files from Stream in the .NET MAUI Maps (SfMaps)

In the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps control, you can load shape files from a stream by following the below demonstration.

Initialize the SfMaps control and initiate the MapShapeLayer.

XAML:

<map:SfMaps>
   <map:SfMaps.Layer>
       <map:MapShapeLayer x:Name="layer"></map:MapShapeLayer>
   </map:SfMaps.Layer>
</map:SfMaps>

Provide the ShapeSource as a stream using the GetManifestResourceStream method by following this demonstration to load shape files as a stream.

XAML:

public MainPage()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   Assembly assembly = Application.Current.GetType().Assembly;
   var jsonStream = assembly?.GetManifestResourceStream("ShapeFileAsStream.Resources.australia.json");
   this.layer.ShapesSource = MapSource.FromStream(jsonStream);
}
