Libraries, also known as frameworks, components, modules, or software development kits (SDKs), contain reusable code that helps developers integrate OpenStreetMap into their websites or software applications without reinventing the wheel. Developers have written libraries for accessing and analyzing data, rendering maps, geocoding, and routing. These libraries are compatible with the Web and a wide variety of desktop and mobile platforms.

A library is primarily included in a larger application, rather than being run as a standalone tool. However, some of the libraries listed here also provide command-line tools to facilitate development. A standalone tool may be just as convenient as a library in some environments, particularly on the command line; see Software for a full listing.

The libraries listed here are actively maintained or are considered to be mature and complete. Libraries of historical interest can be found at Category:Discontinued software.

Accessing raw OpenStreetMap data

Artículo principal: Databases and data access APIs

OpenStreetMap has APIs for accessing raw, unprocessed map data. These low-level libraries are primarily used by OpenStreetMap editors, tile servers, and other infrastructure. If you’re developing a website or end-user application, most likely you’ll want to use a higher-level framework, such as an interactive map library.

Generating map images

Artículo principal: Rendering

Most client-side static and interactive map libraries display static map images or raster tiles generated on the server side. These server-side libraries are used by tile servers that need to generate those raster tiles:

Displaying static map images

Artículo principal: Rendering

These client-side libraries fetch individual static map images from a tile server without adding an interactive UI around the images. In websites and applications, static map images are sometimes more appropriate than full map widgets, either due to performance concerns or because the map simply doesn’t need to be interactive.

Displaying interactive maps

Artículo principal: Rendering
Artículo principal: Deploying your own Slippy Map

Interactive maps, also known as slippy maps on the Web, are the most common way of integrating OpenStreetMap into a website or application. These client-side libraries can display OpenStreetMap-based maps directly. Most of them display raster or vector tiles generated by a tile server, while some render raw OpenStreetMap data fetched directly from an API. A number of server-side libraries make it easier to insert client-side map widgets in webpages.
