What's inside MapLibre

  1. Overview of MapLibre mapping libraries

    MapLibre is an open-source community providing tools for building customizable interactive maps across web, mobile, and desktop platforms. It originated as a community-driven fork of Mapbox GL JS 1.x.

  2. Integrate MapLibre with spatial data ecosystems

    MapLibre software is designed to work with the following data sources and technologies:

    • OpenStreetMap (OSM) data
    • PostGIS spatial databases
    • Vector tiles in MLT or MVT formats
    • PMTiles and MBTiles archives
    • GPU-accelerated WebGL rendering

  3. Serve vector tiles using Martin

    Martin is a Rust-based tile server that generates Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT). It can dynamically generate tiles from PostGIS queries or serve tiles from PMTiles and MBTiles archives.

  4. Use MapLibre GL JS for web-based vector maps

    MapLibre GL JS is a TypeScript library that uses WebGL/GPU acceleration to render vector and raster tiles directly in the browser. It is the primary tool for creating interactive maps on the web.

  5. Use MapLibre Native for cross-platform map rendering

    MapLibre Native is a C++ library used for rendering maps on iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows. It supports multiple platforms, including Qt.

  6. Implement MapLibre Style and Tile Specifications

    MapLibre utilizes two primary specifications for map data and appearance:

    1. Style Specification: A JSON-based format used to describe map styles.
    2. MapLibre Tile Specification (MLT): A next-generation vector tile format optimized for modern GPU hardware.
