"It makes creating map mashups extremely easy"

5/5

Describe the project or task OpenLayers helped with:

We needed to display all that data stored in our Postgres database on the front-end. Front-end was requesting data with a Geoserver, returning GeoJson. OpenLayers made this process very easy. I had to show polygons, lines like for example properties, streets, etc. I used Google for map server road / satellite views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenLayers?

Documentations are very nice and you need to learn how to use it. It comes with good examples. Great community, you can find help on stackexchange websites like stackoverflow and gis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenLayers?

Nothing about OpenLayers, but there are some things you need to know about GIS in general to understand some features it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenLayers solving and how is that benefiting you?

It works really well with GeoServer. So it's a flexible front-end solution that makes it easy to display geo data on maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
