Mapbox GL JS is a Javascript & WebGL library that renders interactive maps from vector tiles and Mapbox styles.
It is part of the Mapbox GL ecosystem which includes Mapbox GL Native, a suite of compatible SDKs for native desktop and mobile applications.
To use the vector tiles and styles hosted on http://mapbox.com, you must create an account and then obtain an access token. You may learn more about access tokens here.
