mapbox-exif-layer

This open-source library provides custom layers for Mapbox GL JS and MapLibre GL JS to visualize wind particle motion, smooth weather rasters, and GeoTIFF data directly in the browser. It solves the problem of displaying weather data on maps without requiring a tile server, offering GPU-accelerated particle animation and smooth raster interpolation. The target audience is developers and data analysts working with weather or geospatial data, typically in engineering or data analytics teams. It is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to proprietary solutions, supporting both Mapbox and MapLibre, including globe projections, and offering direct GeoTIFF support.
