Google Map React is a component written over a small set of the Google Maps API.
However, it is currently maintained under the open governance model with several other geospatial data visualization libraries centered around deck.gl. This library, as well as deck.gl, was originally developed and maintained by Uber. In addition to exposing MapboxGL functionality to React apps, react-map-gl also integrates seamlessly with deck.gl. React-map-gl is a suite of React components for Mapbox GL JS, a WebGL-powered vector and raster tile mapping library. However, after some consideration, I’ve decided that it would not be fair to omit any of the five as most of them are still in active development and each one has a different set of functions, modules, and components. That leaves us with five libraries, which is still a lot for a comparison. This normally indicates that a project has depreciated or been abandoned. Out of the eleven libraries listed on Awesome React, six were eliminated from this comparison because they haven’t been updated in nearly a year or more.
Under the maps category, there are a total of eleven different React map libraries, components, and wrappers listed. I made use of the Awesome React repository for this article. Checkout the full list of all Awesome repositories here. Some notable awesome repositories include Awesome React, Awesome Vue, Awesome Graphql and Awesome JavaScript. The Github Awesome repositories are a huge collection of “all things awesome” for a particular framework or programming language. Whenever I have to make a decision on what library or framework to use, my first step is to check out the Github “Awesome” repositories. In this post we will investigate several existing React map libraries and compare them based on functionality, technology, and ease of use. Rather than reinventing the wheel, it’s better to make use of existing solutions if your specific use case allows for it. Implementing an effective, efficient, and sustainable map solution in React apps can be a daunting task. Currently hacking away at the frontend for Beerwulf 🙌 React map library comparisonĮditor’s note: This article was updated on with up-to-date information on each featured library.
