<img width="600" src="src/images/logo.svg" alt="Maplair" />

Maplair is the leading open-source JavaScript library for **building powerful interactive maps**.

Weighing just about 40 kB of gzipped JS plus 3.2 kB of gzipped CSS code, it has all the mapping [features][] most developers ever need.

Maplair is designed with *simplicity*, *performance* and *usability* in mind.
It works efficiently across all major desktop and mobile platforms out of the box,
taking advantage of modern browser features while being accessible on older ones too.
It can be extended with a huge amount of [plugins][],
has a beautiful, easy to use and [well-documented][] API
and a simple, readable [source code][] that is a joy to [contribute][] to.

We're happy to meet new contributors.

Let's make the best mapping library that will ever exist,
and push the limits of what's possible with online maps!
