Use maplibre instead of mapbox style spec #940
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
Sure, since the Mapbox style spec has become proprietary, the plan for MapLibre is to continue developing the MapLibre Style Spec independently from Mapbox. The main divergence has so far been around atmosphere / globe features which were added after the fork, but the two style specs are still largely identical, and most changes happen as backwards-compatible additions, with both style specs still being on version 8.x. |

@mbeckem Thanks for the pointer!
I'll do this first, and see what the options are. |
I'm in favour of moving over to

Since I got no satisfying answer from Mapbox, I'm inclined to go in that direction too. But it's also tempting to create a new package, independent of both Mapbox and Maplibre, with a few more useful features (profiles, auto-generated docs, optimized for build size). |
@ahocevar the spec is in progress over at https://github.com/maparatus/ol-mapbox-style-spec, rendered spec at https://maparatus.github.io/ol-mapbox-style-spec/ (I'll continue to update issue #10 on progress). That's based on the maplibre-gl spec. I'm happy to transfer that repository over once I complete the tests and update the spec. From my perspective. It'd be fine to merge this in the meantime, as it'd be closer to the incoming spec work. |
I'm putting this up for discussion, as an alternative to #939.
The one thing that makes me hesitant to make this change is that I don't know what the plans are for Maplibre to stick with or depart from the Mapbox style spec. If someone from @maplibre, maybe @birkskyum, could comment on that, it would make the decision easier.
