GeoJS is a javascript library for visualizing geospatial data in a browser. Its flexible API provides users with the ability to combine multiple visualizations drawn in WebGL, canvas, and SVG into a single dynamic map.

Highlights

Vector Layer

GeoJS can combine multiple layers of different data types: map tiles, choropleth polygons, vector layers, and more.

Responsive Design

GeoJS can handle interactions with large quantities of data, whether it is a million line segments or a grid of scalar values. The visualization is interactive, and can be animated, too.

Infovis

There are built-in features for many common information visualization methods: heatmaps, pixelmaps, vectors, text labels, contour plots, graphs, plus the usual points, lines, and polygons.
