Overview
jVectorMap – Interactive Vector Maps
jVectorMap is a JavaScript library for adding interactive, vector-based maps to websites. It supports map-based data visualization, interactive markers, selectable regions, and customizable map behavior.
Interactive Map Controls
Handle map events such as clicks and hover interactions through the documented API. Configure labels and customize how users interact with map regions and markers.
Data Visualization
Represent information using map regions or markers. Automatically generated legends help users understand the data displayed on the map.
Maps and Custom Maps
The library provides access to maps covering the world, regions, countries, and cities through its official website. A Python-based converter is included for creating custom maps from supported geographic data formats, including Shapefiles.
Geographic Standards
Country and region identification uses the ISO 3166 standard, making the library useful for displaying datasets organized by geographic codes.
Website Integration
The library is designed to work with jQuery and supports mobile platforms according to the vendor's description. It can be used as a component in dashboards, reports, analytics interfaces, and other map-based web applications.
Compatibility note: The supplied product listing was last updated on 9 February 2020 and lists jQuery 2+ as a requirement. Verify compatibility with your current frontend stack before integrating it into a new project.
