Mapbox GL JS is a Javascript & WebGL library that renders interactive maps from vector tiles and the [Mapbox GL Style Specification](Style Specification).
It is part of the Mapbox GL ecosystem which includes Mapbox GL Native, a compatible renderer written in C++ with bindings for desktop and mobile platforms.
To use the vector tiles and styles hosted on http://mapbox.com, you must create an account and then obtain an access token. You may learn more about access tokens here.
