Core vs Modules ​

GeoLeaf Core (Open Source) ​

GeoLeaf Core is an open-source JavaScript mapping library. It includes:

  • Framework bootstrap - Application initialization and configuration
  • Core mapping - MapLibre GL JS wrapper and map management
  • Configuration system - Configuration loading and validation
  • Logging and errors - Unified logging and error handling
  • UI components - Base UI system, controls, panels
  • Security - XSS protection and input sanitization
  • Utilities - Helper functions and utility library

Perpetual Status: The GeoLeaf Core library is and will remain permanently open-source under the MIT License.

Optional Plugins ​

GeoLeaf offers optional plugins that extend Core functionality — offline cache and Service Worker, feature editing (geometry and attributes), COG rendering, printing, measuring, table views, file import, geocoding, real-time layers and more.

Every plugin is released under the MIT License, under the @geoleaf-plugins/* scope. The whole client-side library is MIT: install it, use it, ship it.

To find out which plugins are on the public registry, and at which version, run npm view <package> version. That is the only authoritative answer, and it is why no such list is reproduced here.

Plugins:

  • Are optional — Core works fully without them
  • Are independently versioned — each ships its own LICENSE, all MIT
  • Do not affect the MIT License of GeoLeaf Core

packages/core/ never references a plugin package. That boundary is an architectural one — it keeps the Core standalone and tree-shakeable — not a licence boundary.

Dependencies ​

GeoLeaf depends on the following open-source libraries:

  • MapLibre GL JS (https://maplibre.org) - BSD 3-Clause License
  • Additional dependencies - See package.json for complete list

Attribution and Acknowledgments ​

GeoLeaf thanks the following communities and projects:

  • MapLibre GL JS - Core mapping engine (WebGL)
