A light JavaScript library to create integrated 2D/3D maps.
* **2D/3D**: Integrated 2D/3D maps.
* **Open and pluggable**: Easy to extend with techs you may love as [plugins](https://maptalks.org/plugins.html).
* **Performant**: Can smoothly render tens of thousands of geometries.
* **Simple**: Extremely easy to learn and use.
* **Feature Packed**: Essential features for most mapping needs.
* **SSR**: [Server-Side Rendering](https://github.com/maptalks/maptalks.js/wiki/Server-Side-Rendering)
## The Story
**maptalks.js** was born for a map-centric project to help [YUM! China](http://www.yumchina.com/en/) (the most successful food chain in China) manage and analyze spatial data all over the country for choosing locations of new KFC and PizzaHut restaurants. After verified in many projects of government depts and enterprises, we are glad to open source it, and hoping it can help you deliver better mapping projects.
