MapLibre is a fork of Mapbox 1.13.0 that preserves the older BSD 3-clause license.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pros
|
||||
#### MapLibre-GL-JS Pros
|
||||
|
||||
- Being a fork of Mapbox GL JS (though an earlier version), MapLibre has almost all of the benefits of Mapbox called out above
|
||||
- Returns to 3-Clause BSD [License](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) means true FOSS licensing, as well as free operation
|
||||
- **Everything above** : Being a fork of Mapbox GL JS (though an earlier version), MapLibre has all of the benefits of Mapbox called out above
|
||||
- **Licensing** : Returns to 3-Clause BSD [License](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) means true FOSS licensing, as well as free operation

#### Cons
|
||||
#### MapLibre-GL-JS Cons
|
||||
|
||||
- This library is still quite young, having been formed only mid-December last year
|
||||
- There may be licensing or legal challenges from Mapbox around the use of this tool
|
||||
- Though supported by [react-map-gl](https://github.com/visgl/react-map-gl), there is not yet as full-featured support for MapLibre-GL in other component-based wrapper libraries
|
||||
- There is an [issue](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/21) open now discussing the possibility of breaking backwards compatibility as part of a MapLibre 2.0 release. In practice this would mean we would not be able to use layers created within Mapbox in MapLibre tooling.

### Leaflet
|
||||
|
||||
[Source](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet) - v1.7.1 (9/4/20) + [Leaflet.VectorGrid](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid) - v1.3.0 (2017)
|
||||
Leaflet is a popular open-source mapping visualization library that has been around since 2010.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pros
|
||||
#### Leaflet Pros
|
||||
|
||||
- Leaflet has by far the largest number of [stars](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/stargazers) on Gitbub (30,500 at the time of writing)

|
||||
- **Popularity** : Leaflet has by far the largest number of [stars](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/stargazers) on Gitbub (30,500 at the time of writing)
|
||||
- **Modularity** : Leaflet has a [number](https://leafletjs.com/plugins.html) of plugins that augment its functionality, including [Leaflet.VectorGrid](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid) which enables Vector Tiles
|
||||
- **License** : Leaflet is BSD 2-Clause [licensed](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/LICENSE)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cons
|
||||
#### Leaflet Cons
|
||||
|
||||
- **Performance** : As seen above, Leaflet performance is quite poor across device types, relative to other libraries, even with the vector plugin
|
||||
- **Modern Stack** : The lack of out-of-the-box vector tile support opens the possibility for version requirement mismatches. Additionally, the last update to the VectorGrid plugin was a [year ago](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid/commits/master)

### OpenLayers
|

|
||||
- **More fully featured** : OpenLayers has a number of GIS features that other tools do not
|
||||
|
||||
#### OpenLayers Cons
|
||||
|
