maliput_sparse
is a convenient package that provides several helpers for creating a maliput backend that is expected to be built on top of waypoints without any analytical model of the surface.
By using the builder API, the mathematical model is solved under the hood so the user doesn't have to dive into complex geometric calculations.
Note: For full information about Maliput please visit Maliput Documentation.
Refer to Maliput sparse's Online API Documentation.
Getting Started page is a good place for starting to see Maliput's capabilities and how to use a Maliput backend for getting a road network.
