LeylineJS is a library for building rich, web-based geospatial data explorers, used to drive leylines.net. It uses Cesium and WebGL for a full 3D globe in the browser with no plugins. It gracefully falls back to 2D with Leaflet on systems that can't run Cesium. It can handle catalogs of thousands of layers, with dozens of geospatial file and web service types supported. It is almost entirely JavaScript in the browser, meaning it can even be deployed as a static website, making it simple and cheap to host.
We are currently working on a brand new version of Terria — verson 8!
We will soon be posting docs outlining this new version:
- how it differs from the current version
- how it will impact users (including guides and tools to help you upgrade)
- release roadmap (including which features are supported or in development)
Stay tuned!

- Nested catalog of layers which can be independently enabled to create mashups of many layers.
- Supports GeoJSON, KML, CSV (point and region-mapped), GPX and CZML file types natively, and others including zipped shapefiles with an optional server-side conversion service.
- Supports WMS, WFS, Esri MapServer, ABS ITT, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap-style raster tiles, Mapbox, Urthecast, and WMTS item types.
- Supports querying WMS, WFS, Esri MapServer, CSW, CKAN and Socrata services for groups of items.
- 3D globe (Cesium) or 2D mode (Leaflet). 3D objects supported in CZML format.
- Time dimensions supported for CSV, CZML, WMS. Automatically animate layers, or slide the time control forward and backward.
- Drag-and-drop files from your desktop to the browser, for instant visualisation (no file upload to server required).
- Wider range of file types supported through server-side OGR2OGR service (requires upload).
- Users can generate a reusable URL link of their current map view, to quickly share mashups of web-hosted data.
- Built in ECMAScript 2015, compiled with Babel to ES5.
- Supports IE9 and later. A few features require IE11+.
- TerriaJS Server component runs in NodeJS and provides proxying for web services that don't support CORS or require authentication.
- Dependencies are managed in NPM and assembled using WebPack.
The easiest way to build your own Terria-based map is using the TerriaMap starting point. This gives you the HTML structure, server and build processes you need to get a site up and running immediately.
See Getting Started in the Documentation for all the details.
See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).
