That's a great section you've linked to. Pretty clear that maps are in demand on the Web, but maybe they fly a little under the radar of the Web community for some reason. It would be ideal to pursue the HTTP archive search avenue. If there is a need to pay for such searches, I can probably arrange for that. |
I just had a meeting with Jonathan from geoseer.net, which is an open map services search engine and crawler. They have a verified 1.5M layers in their index from about 180,000 Web map / feature / coverage services. I don't know how that would translate into number of Web pages with maps in them, but it's a pretty impressive showing from the Open Data crowd. |
I updated the above link with a link to the stats page for geoseer. I don't know how often they update the statistics, but it is quite informative even if slightly stale. |
Interesting. The GeoSeer stats aren't what this issue was originally about (client-side framework use), but they are definitely relevant to the discussion about what data formats & server APIs should be supported. |
Seeing as @bkardell produced some data, is there perhaps a resource we can link to? |
You can find similar if not the same data here (from querying |
Google puts a figure on their maps platform active monthly users that is astounding. |

The review aims to be empirical, arguing that certain patterns should be standardized because they are already commonly used in the web.
Which means, we need data on the frequency of use of the different JS tools.
https://trends.builtwith.com/mapping/ has numbers, but no methodology. @briankardell was going to try to get some numbers from HTTP archive searches, but any other sources would be a help.
