react-map-gl is a suite of React components providing a React-friendly API wrapper around Mapbox GL JS and MapLibre GL JS. It lets developers embed interactive WebGL maps as fully controlled reactive components, with hooks and context for building custom map UIs.

Use cases

• add an interactive map to a React app
• render Mapbox GL maps as React components
• use MapLibre GL JS in a React project
• build custom map controls with React hooks
• overlay deck.gl WebGL visualizations on a map
• create a controlled reactive map with zoom and center state

When to choose

• you are building a React application that needs Mapbox or MapLibre maps
• you want maps as declarative, controlled React components
• you plan to combine maps with deck.gl visualizations
• you need hooks and context to build custom map components

When to avoid

• your project does not use React
• you need maps in a non-web platform like native mobile without a web view
• you want a framework-agnostic vanilla JS map integration
• you need a lightweight static map image rather than an interactive WebGL map
