Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library designed for creating interactive, mobile-friendly maps for web applications. Lightweight and simple to use, Leaflet provides developers with tools to build dynamic map interfaces that work seamlessly across devices and browsers. Its small size and focus on usability have made it one of the most popular libraries for web-based mapping.

Leaflet supports a wide range of mapping features, including zooming, panning, markers, popups, and overlays, all of which can be customized to meet specific needs. It integrates easily with tile providers like OpenStreetMap and Mapbox, enabling developers to display geographic data and basemaps with minimal configuration. The library also offers an extensive plugin ecosystem, allowing developers to add functionalities such as heatmaps, geolocation, clustering, and more.

With its user-friendly API and strong community support, Leaflet empowers developers to create visually engaging, interactive maps for diverse applications such as tourism, logistics, data visualization, and urban planning. Whether you are building a simple location map or a complex geospatial application, Leaflet offers the flexibility and performance needed for modern web development.
