Use MapBox for js web maps #8

Open danalexilewis opened 8 years ago

iainkirkpatrick commented 8 years ago

MapBox JS API https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/api/ nb. mapbox are pouring a lot of effort into their Mapbox-GL project now (https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-gl-js/) - this will be the API for js maps of the future, but it isn't that fleshed out yet. Something to keep an eye on, as the maps rendered in OpenGL look sick.

TurfJS (http://turfjs.org/) is a Node open-source geospatial toolset that replicates most basic geospatial operations that enterprise GIS offers. Can be implemented in browser or server-side programs (using browserify etc). Made primarily by one of the dudes from MapBox. Useful if a project requires spatial analysis like point-in-polygon counts etc.
