Mappette

Mappette is a project born to experiment on today's (2022) web technologies, applied on building a light webmapping library and a set of examples.

The goals of Mappette:

• offering a simple API for mapping, by abstracting different mapping libraries own API, while leaving direct access to the mapping library itself

• depending on a minimal set of well documented libraries; currently our runtime dependencies are:

  • a mapping library (OpenLayers and CesiumJS are supported)
  • proj4js
  • Preact

• leveraging the web platform whenever possible, instead of adding new dependencies
