harp.gl is an open-source 3D map rendering engine written in TypeScript and built on three.js/WebGL. It enables themeable, high-performance 3D map visualizations in web applications with modular data providers.

Use cases

• render 3D maps in a web browser
• build animated map visualizations with webgl
• create themeable maps that change style on the fly
• display custom map data with a modular rendering engine
• build a performant map application with web workers

When to choose

• you need a customizable, themeable 3D map engine built on three.js
• you want full control over map data providers and rendering modules
• you are building a bespoke geospatial visualization and don't need vendor support

When to avoid

• you want a production-supported mapping product - HERE recommends its Maps API for JavaScript instead
• you need active maintenance - development stopped in 2022 and releases have ceased
• you only need simple 2D maps or basic embedded maps
