Commit 1c53dc9ca8 ([core] Refactor vertex array object extension
initialization) changed where the GL renderer string is checked in order
to prevent the vertex array extension initialization in certain
platforms and in doing so made the logging of that string more frequent,
once per context initialization instead of at most once per process.
This is a lot more verbose, specially when running unit tests, so make
sure that string is logged at most once as it was previously.
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 Maps SDK for Qt | 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 |
| NativeScript (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
