Tools for improving web maps. The centerpiece of the code is a client implementation of the MBTiles interaction specification.

For full documentation of supported mapping APIs and how to use Wax see https://tilemill-project.github.io/wax/.

This is a fork to work specifically with TileMill v1.x.

There are three current development branches of Wax:

• master is 6.4.x and works with TileMill v1.x
• 7.x is not stable and is abandoned.
• 5.x supports Modest Maps 1.0.0-alpha2 and later, but supports the same API as 4.x
• 4.x supports Modest Maps 0.x, older versions of Modest Maps

To find more detail of what has changed in each version, consult CHANGELOG.md.

• Google Maps API v3
• Leaflet 0.x.x
• Modest Maps 1.x.x
• OpenLayers 2.11
• ESRI ArcGIS API 2.8

For end users, a minified library is already provided in dist/.

But for developers you can rebuild a minified library by running:

npm install --only=dev
make
