“Leaflet” appeared - a new open source JavaScript library for any maps

On May 13, CloudMade (co-founder of the company - founder of OpenStreetMap, Steve Cost ) announced a new open source JavaScript library for any maps called Leaflet .

As Mourner wrote (he is on Habré - Mourner ), the author of this library, who lives in Kiev (by the way, he will be happy to hear feedback and answer your questions on the OpenStreetMap forum and here on Habrahabr):

“Leaflet is conceived as a library that works equally well on desktop browsers and mobile devices (iPhone / iPad, Android) - very fast, lightweight, with a simple API, beautiful and understandable OOP code. Unlike OpenLayers (the most popular choice to date), we are not trying to cram into it all the features that you can think of by inflating code to unimaginable dimensions - only the most basic, minimal set that meets the needs of 99% of map applications online ( tiles, markers, vectors, popups), but implementing them in the best possible way. ”

Official Leaflet site: leaflet.cloudmade.com (description, examples, documentation)
GitHub repository: github.com/CloudMade/Leaflet (developers will be happy to see contributors)
Examples: leaflet.cloudmade.com/examples/quick-start.html

UPD: Changed the title and text in connection with the comment that can be used with any maps.
