Leaflet.js Reviews

Its an awesome liberary . Very Efficient and easy to use. I used it in my live tracking project. Easy to manupulate path on map

I did not find anything to dislike. Overall its good.

I would love to recommend to my fellows to use this product

I wanted to show the live tracking of the vehicles.

Very easy to integrate and use in code especially with all the filters with respect to maps. One of the finest interactive tools for data visualization with no bounds with respect to size. It allows to use HTML format too, making it very simpler to stuff in as much information as possible. The loading of maps is also pretty fast and availability of various colors and markers is great for distinguishing everything. Overall, leaflet.js is 9/10 tool even for a beginner level devloper due to its ease of use.

The size goes on increasing making it difficult to open in few of the browsers. It is especially working only with mozilla when the size keeps on increasing and with addition of html and base64 data to the interactive maps. Few more of the javasript parameters can be made available to the user to make the maps more customized as required. The maps generated are not provided with any source leaving few disputed areas wrongly marked which can make an issue in few countries. The loading of maps takes a lot of time in few browsers especially in chrome. But all said, the product is very good and was very helpful, hope some changes can be made.

We had all the data of multiple stores across India, which sell primarily FMCG goods. We were trying to do the market basket analysis, price analytics with historical prices of the product. So, we placed all the stores as markers in the map with each marker will popup and show all the analytics data we produced. The best part was the map visualization which was extremely easy for presentation and easy to interact.

Community, and documentation. Filler content.

Lack of native vector tiles. Filler content.

Use it.

Making maps, not being charged for usage like Google Maps and Mapbox.

The documentation available online is well structured and easy to understand. It helped me complete my projects without significant issues.

Requires learning Javascript for some people.

Learn Javascript

Visualize locations of groundwater monitoring wells. Leaflet.

The best thing is the simplicity of leafletjs. Its very easy to use and build complex applications

Code examples could have been better with support for mordern frontend frameworks.

Make small components for every feature you want to design.

We are trying to show commercial properties in our application.

The documentation and examples make it easy to use for anyone getting started.

Would love to have separate implementation examples for popular frameworks like Angular and React.js

I used it for map representations.

Easy to use, lots of tutorials, large helping community.

The speed is an issue it takes a bit long to load data.

I have worked on leaflet alot,

If it is your first time to create an application that requires maps, Leaflet is one of the best to use for beginners. Leaflet has a nice and easy to understand documentation. Since it is a well-known library, you can see a lot of projects and video tutorials online which you can use as your reference. Another reason for recommending Leaflet is because of React Leaflet, which makes map creation and customization a lot easier.

None. Everything you need to know is included in the documentation.

I create maps to track satellites, render images and use draw control as user interaction. These are all possible with Leaflet.js.

Documentation! It is very well documented and the API is very intuitive. I liked the way the tutorials are organized making it easy to integrate into your app. The plugin ecosystem is also very rich. I was able to integrate and use a plugin for my requirements all in one go!

Nothing much to dislike here. It would be great if it came with its own profiling options if you are a performance fanatic!

I had an app that listed thousands of locations. I not only wanted to plot them with an open source library but also be able to group them into clusters so that it is easily interact-able. Leaflet solved this problem comfortably. It has a small learning curve as well.

Leaflet.js has one of the best documentation and tutorials of its kind. I learned to use Leaflet to build a crime map when I just started to learn Javascript. I had a few problems, but it's rewarding to see the result. I also like that there are so many free plug-ins to make our life easier.

-It seems Leaflet load tiles slower than Google Maps or Mapbox. When the Internet speed is not ideal, it takes time to load.

-Leaflet relies a lot on SVG; I've used canvas renderer, but the performance is not as good as Google Maps or Mapbox.

I have used leaflets with my personal and professional interactive projects. The benefits are obvious: easy to implement, easy to use, the code is readable and reusable, it's responsive on different sizes screens, the documentation is easy to digest.
