A source in Mapbox GL JS is a file or service that supplies data for a layer displayed in a map. The most common source types are vector
, for vector tile sources, and geojson
, for GeoJSON files or data constructed in the browser. Vector tile sources contain tile
properties specifying the URL structure for requesting tiles; GeoJSON sources contain a data
property that contains either the data itself or a URL. Other source types include raster, image, or video.
