GeoJS is intended to bridge the gap between

[GIS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system),

[Scientific Visualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization), and

[Infovis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_visualization).

GeoJS is more than just a GIS library as users can create scientific plots

such as vector and contour and can embed infovis plots using [D3.js](https://github.com/d3/d3).

*GeoJS aims for high-performance visualization and interactive data exploration of scientific

and geospatial location aware datasets*.

GeoJS supports features such as *Point*, *Line*, *Polygon*, and advanced features

such as [Pixelmap](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/pixelmap),

[Contour](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/contour),

[Heatmap](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/heatmap), and

[Choropleth](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/choropleth).

GeoJS can read and render data from [GeoJSON](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/geoJSON) files,

and [WMS](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/wms) servers.

Additional features includes [Annotations](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/annotations),

[Legends](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/legend),

[Animated Transitions](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/transitions), and

[Widgets](https://opengeoscience.github.io/geojs/examples/widgets).

GeoJS can also be used for visualizing medical imagery. See [Digital Slide Archive](https://digitalslidearchive.github.io/digital_slide_archive) for an example.
