How to get only list of items without geometry from OGC services?

Question

How can I get list of items from WMS or WFS services? I want to fill dropdown list, so I do not need geometries. I need only JSON list of items.

Do you mean something like this http://demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/ows?service=wfs&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typenames=topp:states&properyname=STATE_NAME? Save the response on disk and open with text editor, it is not a program. There is some issue with the MIME type. — user30184, Oct 21, 2021 at 18:06
@user30184 - this was the solution for me thanks!, heads up there's a type, it should be propertyname — ioseph, Feb 28 at 6:29

A GetCapabilities request to the relevant service will return an XML document containing details of all the layers/feature types.
