What is Leeflets?
Leeflets is an open-source JavaScript library that can be used to build interactive map applications for the web. It provides an API and components for displaying tile-based maps, adding layers, markers, popups, and other map functionality.
As an alternative to Leaflet, Leeflets offers similar capabilities for developing web mapping apps without relying on the Leaflet library. Some key features include:
- Simple, easy-to-use API for working with interactive maps
- Support for various map providers and tile layers
- Markers, popups, and layer grouping
- Geometry features like polygons, polylines, and circles
- Panning, zooming and other native map controls
- Lightweight codebase for fast performance
- Customizable through CSS and extensions
- Free and open source under a permissive license
Leeflets allows developers to avoid dependencies on Leaflet in their projects. It provides a solid foundation and components for building web-based mapping applications from scratch.
