CARTO VL

CARTO VL is a JavaScript library to create custom Location Intelligence applications over vector rendering.

This library is still under support but it will not be further developed. We don’t recommend starting new projects with it as it will eventually become deprecated. Instead, learn more about our current CARTO for deck.gl library here

Issues on Github

If you think you may have found a bug, or if you have a feature request that you would like to share with the CARTO VL team, please open an issue.

Community support on GIS Stack Exchange

GIS Stack Exchange is the most popular community in the geospatial industry. This is a collaboratively-edited question and answer site for geospatial programmers and technicians. It is a fantastic resource for asking technical questions about developing and maintaining your application.

Members of the CARTO VL team regularly monitor the carto tag. You can look for CARTO topics by adding carto or carto vl to your search query. You can also add additional tags to your question in order to attract the attention of experts in related technologies.

When posting a new question, please consider the following:

  • Read the GIS Stack Exchange help and how to ask pages for guidelines and tips about posting questions.
  • Be very clear about your question in the subject. A clear explanation helps those trying to answer your question, as well as those who may be looking for information in the future.
  • Be informative in your post. Details, code snippets, logs, screenshots, etc. help others to understand your problem.
  • Use code that demonstrates the problem. It is very hard to debug errors without sample code to reproduce the problem.
