Core Philosophy Differences

Google Maps: Imperative & Object-Oriented

• Create objects (Marker, Polygon, etc.)
• Add to map with .setMap(map)
• Update properties with setters
• Heavy reliance on object instances

Mapbox GL JS: Declarative & Data-Driven

• Add data sources
• Define layers (visual representation)
• Style with JSON
• Update data, not object properties
