"Leafletjs is excellent library for the mapping" 4/5 What do you like best about Leaflet.js? Easy to create maps and supports the huge number of plugins. Lightweight, open-source JS library are the key things for loving this library. Being the Js developer, I always like to create the web-mapping and web-GIS functionalities easily. The leafletjs makes it easier to make the geoportal and share the maps easily all around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? I frequently check the GitHub repo of this library. It seems like no one is maintaining properly this library. It has 29.7K stars but it has lots of open issues (428) and pulls requests(160). I also checked the gitter chat box, there as well not much response. People are not responding to the messages to the group. Please someone maintain the repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: Leafletjs is the open-source, light-weight mapping library, just use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leaflet.js solving and how is that benefiting you? As being the web-GIS developer, the map is the key thing. The visualization of the map from different sources and making some useful web-GIS basic functionalities (like, zoom in, zoom out, measuring distance/area etc).

RG Richard G. Software Developer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/13/2020 "Leaflet is a very straight forward mapping container and is and well documented." 3.5/5 What do you like best about Leaflet.js? Leaflet is a mature framework that is well documented. I've been using it since 2014 and it has a large community, especially on stack overflow. It has all the basic features a basic web mapping project needs and is a great starting point for your web mapping projects. It's very lightweight and does its job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? Although it is very powerful a lot of the time capabilities are at the mercy of mapping providers like google for their tiles. It usually requires wrappers for most frameworks that are variable in maintenance and quality. Leaflet is clearly showing its age since it's missing some mapping related functions that can be found in other libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: Just try it. Examples on the site are very easy to follow and should get you started. Folks on stack overflow are also very eager to help. There are also a lot of examples on codepen.io. It's very popular in the community for quick hacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leaflet.js solving and how is that benefiting you? Leaflet.js was chosen as the container library for a business intelligence software I prototyped. I used leaflet to create maps, as its basically a container library for tiles. I used it to draw shapes, points and lines on maps. It's has a very open source license so usually no conflicts with the project. Biggest hurdle is usually where you source the tiles. Finally, with the right CSS skills, I have found it quite mobile friendly in terms of scaling and touch controls. The biggest benefits of leaflet is really how simple it is in terms of its functionality and use. As mentioned before it is well documented and has a large community behind it that has solved many types of problems on many different web frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full stack web developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/24/2020 "Using of leaflet.js on batch of web geo services" 4/5 What do you like best about Leaflet.js? I like that it is easy to connect leaflet to web page. It allows to use third party map tiles like mapbox tiles. It allows to customize map, add some additional settings for final user, like markers with popups where each popup can exist any text and even fields which user can edit. Markers can be grouped to clusters and when final user zoom in a map, clusters are divided to smaller clusters and finally to separate markers. It is possible to customize markers, make their look unique. Use different third party extensions and so on. I think it is the best JS library for working with maps. It uses openstreetmaps, so it does not cost anything for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? If your map has a lot of data, e.g. thousands of markers in clusters, Leaflet will use a lot of RAM what will make your browser freezing. It does not have as much tile designs as google maps for example. It is also built on opestreetmaps which are not so accurate as google maps API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: Almost everything you need can be found in official documentation of this library. I would also use stack overflow and google when have some troubles with my maps. If you need just a basic map or even heavy map - it is one of the best solutions on the market and it is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leaflet.js solving and how is that benefiting you? I used leaflet.js for displaying different objects with latitude and longitude on maps for few deveped by our company geocoding services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MC Massimo C. Frontend Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/12/2021 "Not the easiest library to customize, but definitely, a must-have for map development" 4/5 What do you like best about Leaflet.js? Light, easy to import and to use. Very good if you want to make a POC and great to use as a base for big projects if you can master this library Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? 1) It's hell if you want to customize the marker's popup in any interesting way - eg: having custom UI elements shown inside the marker popoup 2) no native support for any JS framework as of right now, there are some community-made ones, but not well maintained in my opinion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: Play around with the library for a few days before using it in any production software. It looks easy but the customization is hard and the documentation is not great. Use it, break it, push it to its limit, then i one way or another it won't meet your requirements, in that case, you just have to make your own extensions and customizations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leaflet.js solving and how is that benefiting you? I was able to implement complex GIS for different customers in the last years and a BIS too. The main benefit was the ease of use even without any UI implementation, and the big amount of community-made extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Community is active and responsive." 4/5 What do you like best about Leaflet.js? It gets rapid updates. The community is responsive to issues and feature requests. The code is well documented. It was one of the first mapping libraries which had mobile integration. The GUI is simple and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? The code doesn't work in the same way across all platforms. The fact that Leaflet is the go-to solution for mobile applications, it can be a pain trying to get all mobile browsers run the same functionality in the same way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: Read the documentation of Leaflet to understand whether it fits your purpose. The fact that it's well documented will make the decision easy. You should also check their current issues and feature requests on github to understand your use case better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leaflet.js solving and how is that benefiting you? Had to port code from Open layers to Leaflet as open layers had a large number of legacy components making it difficult to manage. The biggest benefit with Leaflet is that new features are getting added at a rapid pace and the code is being maintained in a way such that it's integration is smooth with minimal trouble.

Is it really easy to pick up at first, especially for someone who has never worked with geojson data before. The API documentation is great and straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? Really nothing to complain for atm, but my eyes would really appreciate having a dark theme for the documentation page (maybe it's there and haven't seen it yet).

Ease of setting up and using alongside mapbox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leaflet.js? Can be a bit difficult to implement into site builders like wordpress, usually need to find a workaround to have it show up (ie. coding in github then embedding that page into wp) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leaflet.js: If you are using Leaflet within a website builder, it might be best to go for a wp plugin if you just need a simple map w/ some json / geojson data. If you have something more complicated / complex in terms of functionality, I would go for uploading it to github and embedding it from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
