# 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](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-style-spec/), applies them to vector tiles that conform to the [Mapbox Vector Tile Specification](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec), and renders them using OpenGL. [Mapbox GL JS](https://github.com/mapbox/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](https://github.com/glfw/glfw)-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and macOS. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:

| SDK                                     | Languages                          | Build status                             |

[Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapbox_GL#Libraries) for **hybrid applications** are developed outside of this repository. If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed there, consider embedding [Mapbox GL JS](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js) using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
