Reinventing WebGL maps
Gleo is a javascript map display library that leverages WebGL. It
aims to have:
- An API that feels like Leaflet,
- Cartographic projection support like OpenLayers,
- WebGL-enabled performance like MapLibre, and
- Symbolization support able to rival Deck.gl
Some of the features that set Gleo apart:
-
Pure ES6 javascript modules (no typescript, and no javascript bundling
tools needed)
-
Full object-oriented approach
-
Map symbols are objects, and do things like handling mouse/pointer
events
- On-the-fly reprojection support
- Complete lack of the (surprisingly ambiguous) word "layer"
