* [ios, macos] Optimized changelog for runtime styling Changelog entries related to style JSON now lead off with the analogous portion of the runtime styling API. * [ios, macos] Autolink cross-class property references in docs jazzy can autolink `Class.property` references in documentation comments. * [ios, macos] Removed extra blank lines * [ios, macos] Corrected typo in MGLMultiPoint docs * [ios, macos] Rewrote shape and feature docs Rewrote documentation about MGLShape, its subclasses, and MGLFeature to emphasize runtime styling uses over annotation uses, associate each type with real-world concepts, cross-reference related style layer classes, and cross-reference related or easily confused shape classes. Links to the GeoJSON specification have been updated to RFC 7946. * [ios, macos] Expanded style layer docs With this change, documentation about style layer classes is nominally based on the documentation in the style specification. However, all the existing layer types’ documentation has been overridden to explain what the layer looks like, relate the layer to a real-world concept, and cross-reference related geometry classes. This change also corrects the description of MGLBackgroundStyleLayer, which erroneously stated that the identifier must be “background”, whereas that only happens to be true by default for Studio template styles. * [ios, macos] Wrap style layer docs * [ios, macos] Removed unused code * [ios, macos] Corrected symbol references in docs * [ios, macos] Corrected typo in abstract class exception
Mapbox GL Native
A library for embedding interactive, customizable vector maps into native applications on multiple platforms. It takes stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using OpenGL. Mapbox GL JS is the WebGL-based counterpart, designed for use on the Web.
The Mapbox GL ecosystem
This repository hosts the cross-platform Mapbox GL Native library, plus convenient SDKs for several platforms. The cross-platform library comes with a GLFW-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and macOS. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:
| SDK | Languages | Build status |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox GL Native | C++14 |   |
| Mapbox Android SDK | Java |  |
| Mapbox iOS SDK | Objective-C or Swift |  |
| Mapbox macOS SDK | Objective-C, Swift, or AppleScript |  |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js |  |
| Mapbox Qt SDK | C++03 |  |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries for hybrid applications are developed outside of this repository:
| Toolkit | Android | iOS | Developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| React Native (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Apache Cordova (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| NativeScript (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| Xamarin | ✅ | ✅ | Xamarin |
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
