## Leaflet
**Leaflet** is a lightweight JavaScript library for map display and interaction by [CloudMade](http://cloudmade.com). It will form the core of CloudMade's next generation JavaScript API (Web Maps API).
Leaflet is built from the ground up to work well on both desktop and mobile web browsers, utilizing cutting-edge technologies included in HTML5. It's main priorities are usability, performance, cross-browser compliance (up to IE6), flexibility and easy to use API. The OOP-based code of the library is designed to be modular, extensible and very easy to understand and modify.
