Leaflet
=======
Leaflet is a modern, lightweight BSD-licensed JavaScript library for making tile-based interactive maps for both desktop and mobile web browsers, developed by [CloudMade](http://cloudmade.com) to form the core of its next generation JavaScript API.

It is built from the ground up to work efficiently and smoothly on both platforms, utilizing cutting-edge technologies included in HTML5. Its top priorities are usability, performance and small size, [A-grade](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/) browser support, flexibility and easy to use API. The OOP-based code of the library is designed to be modular, extensible and very easy to understand.

## Contributing to Leaflet
Let's make the best open-source library for maps that can possibly exist! Please send your pull requests to [mourner](http://github.com/mourner) -- we'll be happy to accept your contributions!

## What's left to do for a feature-complete version

Overlays:
 
 - GeoJSON, KML, GeoRSS layers
 - mouse events in polylines, polygons and circles

Interaction: 
 
 - double tap on mobile webkit
 - panning intertia on mobile webkit
  
Controls:

 - control infrastructure (smart positioning)
 - basic zoom control, zoom slider
 - copyright control

Known issues to be fixed:

 - flickering of vector layers on drag end under mobile webkit
 - show scaled background until tiles are loaded on mobile webkit
 
## Browser support

On desktop: 

 - Firefox 3.6+
 - Chrome
 - Safari 5
 - IE 7-9
 - IE 6 (not perfect but accessible)
 
On mobile:
