Maplair

Maplair is an open-source JavaScript library for building powerful interactive maps, a fork of Leaflet, the leading library for this.

Since Maplair supports tree-shaking, your bundler shakes off the leaves you don't use 🍁 A map with just a tile layer weighs about 34 kB of gzipped JS plus 5.3 kB of gzipped CSS code. With everything included, about 63 kB of gzipped JS, it has all the mapping features most developers ever need.

Maplair is designed with simplicity, performance and usability in mind. It works efficiently across all major desktop and mobile platforms out of the box, using only web features that are Baseline Widely available.
