Q&A

Does the module support Nuxt 2 ?

No, the module at least requires Nuxt 3.

How does MapLibre compare to Mapbox ?

Mapbox is a mapping platform that provides a suite of tools to create maps and location-based services. It includes similar features to MapLibre, but with paid plans for more advanced services.

Think of MapLibre as an open-source technology, while Mapbox is a complete collection of advanced tools and services.

Quote from MapLibre's Github repository

MapLibre originated as an open-source fork of mapbox-gl-js, before their switch to a non-OSS license in December 2020.

The library's initial versions (1.x) were intended to be a drop-in replacement for the Mapbox’s OSS version (1.x) with additional functionality, but have evolved a lot since then.

Both are great choices, it depends on your needs and budget.

If you want to use Mapbox with Nuxt, you can use the Nuxt Mapbox module.

How does MapLibre compare to Leaflet ?

Leaflet is very similar to MapLibre, as it is an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.

The main difference is that Leaflet is more mature and has a larger community, while MapLibre is a fork of Mapbox GL JS, which is a more modern library.

Again, both libraries are great choices, it depends on your needs and preferences.

If you want to use Leaflet with Nuxt, you can use the Nuxt Leaflet module.
