Frontend GIS Benchmark
a Developing Today project · performance × geodesic truth

Seven mapping engines. Real GIS workloads. Reproducible tests.

The Frontend GIS Benchmark measures Leaflet, MapLibre GL, OpenLayers, the ArcGIS Maps SDK, Google Maps, Apple MapKit, and Sundial head to head: real-world rendering performance: markers, GeoJSON, camera tours, and county-scale stress ladders built from 500,000 real South Dakota parcels, addresses, and roads, plus survey-grade geodesic accuracy, graded live against Karney's algorithms on the WGS84 ellipsoid.

The interactive board needs JavaScript and loads in a moment. The methodology explains every metric and the reference mathematics; the arena races the libraries side by side; the Sundial SDK page presents the house-built WebGL2 library that holds rank 1.
