need clarification on mapLibre

[dberardo-com]

i believe the DOC should make clear whether using maplibre or mapbox GL with react-map-gl library has some limitations in terms of features or not.

I am saying this because otherwise i have to guess by looking at the examples what is the difference between this 2 options and i have no idea how cumbersome could be in future to switch from one of these 2 options back to the other one and viceversa.

could you please explain that here briefly and perhaps add it to the doc ? cheers

The components for Mapbox and Maplibre are almost identical. The props/options defined by the base map library reflect the different features of mapbox-gl and maplibre-gl. Any props defined by this wrapper, the difference is handled by the internal implementation. If you need to switch between the two, for the most part you can just change the import endpoint between react-map-gl/mapbox and react-map-gl/maplibre, plus any library-specific configuration such as access token and map style.

If you need help choosing between Mapbox and Maplibre, this is the wrong place to ask. I suggest you check their respective documentation websites, where there are the most up to date value proposition and a lot of examples showcasing their latest features.
