Leaflet is a popular open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. It provides a wide range of features for rendering and interacting with geospatial data, including support for various tile layers, markers, and vector layers. Compared to @deck.gl/geo-layers, Leaflet is more focused on 2D map rendering and has a simpler API, but it lacks the advanced 3D visualization capabilities of deck.gl.
Mapbox GL JS is a powerful JavaScript library for interactive, customizable vector maps on the web. It supports 3D terrain and buildings, custom vector tiles, and a wide range of map styles. Compared to @deck.gl/geo-layers, Mapbox GL JS offers more built-in map styles and customization options, but it may require more effort to integrate with custom data visualizations.
OpenLayers is a high-performance, feature-packed library for creating interactive maps on the web. It supports a wide range of geospatial data formats and provides extensive functionality for vector and raster layers, projections, and interactions. Compared to @deck.gl/geo-layers, OpenLayers offers more comprehensive support for different geospatial data formats and projections, but it may be more complex to use for advanced visualizations.
FAQs
deck.gl layers supporting geospatial use cases and GIS formats
We found that @deck.gl/geo-layers demonstrated a healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released less than a year ago. It has 5 open source maintainers collaborating on the project.
