Modest Maps JS is a BSD-licensed display and interaction library for tile-based maps in Javascript.
Our intent is to provide a minimal, extensible, customizable, and free display library for discriminating designers and developers who want to use interactive maps in their own projects. Modest Maps provides a core set of features in a tight, clean package, with plenty of hooks for additional functionality.
This package includes a copy of YUICompressor,
which requires a version of Java on your system. To create a new build of
Modest Maps (only necessary for development), run make from the root
directory.
Modest Maps includes a package.json file to guide usage of its code on the
server-side, and to handle certain dependencies.
To install developer dependencies - needed for documentation and tests - you'll need npm:
npm install --dev
Tests require expresso to be installed by npm, as noted above. To run tests,
make tests
