Leaflet

Leaflet is a lightweight JavaScript library for map display and interaction by CloudMade. It will form the core of CloudMade's next generation JavaScript API.

It 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, A-grade browser support (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.
