maplibre-rs is an experimental & portable vector map renderer written in Rust. If you want to get in touch with the developers, visit the #maplibre:matrix.org chat or our Slack at osmus.slack.com.
Together with researches from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES-SO/HEIG-VD) in Switzerland, we published the first scientific paper about maplibre-rs. It is available as open-access here. The paper includes a comprehensive review of existing open-source map renderers and their portability. We describe the architecture of maplibre-rs and uncover the challenges we encountered.
