* [ios, macos] Fact-checked expression guide Corrected various factual inaccuracies in the “Predicates and Expressions” guide. Moved some explanation from the predicates section to the expressions section. Added sections for all the other expression types we support. * [ios, macos] Reorganized custom function documentation Reorganized the custom function documentation as a series of sections with headers and definition lists instead of a monolithic table. Copyedited various sections for accuracy. Linked references to custom functions. Added format string examples for all custom functions. * [ios, macos] Made h3 more visible * [ios, macos] Added Objective-C example of placeholders * [ios, macos] Documented trig functions * [ios, macos] Also increase h3 code size * [ios, macos] Replaced Markdown with HTML in definition * [ios, macos] Replaced Markdown with HTML in custom function documentation * [ios, macos] Clarified stops * [ios, macos] Cross-referenced functions Each custom function definition cross-references the corresponding aftermarket function (or vice versa), the corresponding style specification expression operator, and any related NSExpression syntax. * [ios, macos] Fixed links in predicate guide * [ios, macos] Consolidated and documented NSExpression categories Consolidated the NSExpression categories into a single category, with marks to separate different tasks. Documented the MGLAdditions category so that it shows up in the jazzy documentation. * [ios, macos] Fixed NSExpression private category mixup
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 Maps SDK for Android | Java | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS | Objective-C or Swift | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for macOS | 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) | ✅ | ✅ | Mapbox |
| 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.
