OpenLayers is a high-performance, feature-packed library for creating interactive maps on the web. It can display map tiles, vector data and markers loaded from any source on any web page. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. It is completely free, Open Source JavaScript, released under the BSD 2-Clause License. For more detail on quick prototyping without the use of a Node.js based setup, see the Skypack example. OpenLayers appreciates contributions of all kinds. We especially want to thank our fiscal sponsors who contribute to ongoing project maintenance. Pozi helps connect communities through spatial thinking. We love Openlayers and it forms a core part of our platform. yey'maps is a scalable cloud GIS suite that is developed with the powerful Openlayers API and the GDAL library. We develop leading Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software. OpenLayers is the core of our map engine and we love it! We advance holistic utilization and availability of spatial information, for a better planned, built and managed society. See our GitHub sponsors page or Open Collective if you too are interested in becoming a regular sponsor. OpenLayers runs on all modern browsers (with greater than 1% global usage). This includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. For older browsers, polyfills (Fastly or Cloudflare) will likely need to be added.
