OpenStreetMap
Collaborative map editing website and API for global geodata

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform where contributors create and maintain a global, openly licensed geographic dataset. The openstreetmap-website project is the Ruby on Rails application that powers the main website and core editing and data APIs.
Key Features
- User accounts and profiles for contributors
- XML and JSON editing API for creating and updating map data
- Web “Browse” interface to explore nodes, ways, relations, and history
- GPX track upload, browsing, and related APIs
- Community features such as diary entries and user-to-user messaging
Use Cases
- Hosting an OpenStreetMap-style editing stack for a community, organization, or region
- Building applications that read and write map data via a standards-based web API
- Managing and reviewing GPS trace uploads to support mapping workflows
Limitations and Considerations
- A complete production deployment typically relies on additional components (for example, tile rendering and geocoding) that are not included in this repository
OpenStreetMap combines community-driven data creation with programmatic access through robust APIs. It is suitable for organizations that need full control over an OSM-compatible website and editing API, and for developers building geospatial applications on open data.
