    What is Leaflet?

    Leaflet is an open source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. It is developed by Vladimir Agafonkin of MapBox with a team of dedicated contributors. Weighing just about 30 KB of gzipped JS code, it has all the features most developers ever need for online maps.

    What is Mapzen Search?

    Pelias is an open-source geocoder built on Node.js and Elasticsearch. It supports numerous open-data projects out of the box and also has robust support for custom data.

    What is TileStache?

    TileStache is a Python-based server application that can serve up map tiles based on rendered geographic data. You might be familiar with TileCache, the venerable open source WMS server from MetaCarta. TileStache is similar, but we hope simpler and better-suited to the needs of designers and cartographers.
