## What it is
Mapbox's legacy JavaScript API implemented as a Leaflet plugin for embedding interactive maps in web pages. The repository is officially deprecated and users are directed to mapbox-gl-js instead.

## Use cases
- embed a mapbox map in a web page with leaflet
- add markers and tiles to a leaflet map
- show a slippy map on my website
- integrate mapbox tiles into an existing leaflet app
- render interactive maps in the browser

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already built on mapbox.js
- you are locked into Leaflet 0.x/1.x with mapbox tiles and cannot migrate

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - use mapbox-gl-js instead
- you need vector tiles, 3D terrain, or modern WebGL rendering
- you need long-term support or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, data-visualization, geospatial
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: leaflet-plugin, maps, deprecated, mapbox, nodejs, javascript
