* Main gyp files are now standardized as platform/<platform>/platform.gyp. * Each platform gyp file defines appropriate loop_lib and headless_lib variables. * Each platform gyp file includes mbgl.gypi, which defines base targets which may be useful to all platforms. * CI targets are consistent across platforms: `make $(PLATFORM) && make test-$(PLATFORM)`. * Renamed the "linux" test app to "glfw". It's now built in OS X CI. * Android build flakiness is fixed. * iOS CI builds the bench and iosapp targets. * Mesa version is now in one place. * CI scripts use bash "strict mode" and correct error handling. * All build output goes to the build directory. * Removed vestigial iOS/OS X/Android Travis scripts.
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 GL 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 OS X. 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 OS X SDK | Objective-C or Swift | |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries are developed outside of this repository:
- React Native Mapbox GL for React Native applications on iOS and Android
- QMapboxGL for Qt-based applications
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for Apache Cordova Hybrid applications
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for NativeScript Hybrid applications
- Xamarin's Mapbox component for Xamarin Hybrid applications
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
