Mapbox GL is a suite of open-source libraries for embedding customizable and responsive client-side maps in web, mobile, and desktop applications. Mapbox GL maps render at a high frame rate. The abbreviation “GL” comes from OpenGL, the industry-standard Open Graphics Library.
Mapbox GL allows you to use custom styles designed in Mapbox Studio. You can also manipulate every aspect of the style’s appearance dynamically, because Mapbox GL renders vector tiles.
Mapbox GL Native is the C++ library for Mapbox GL.
