iTowns is a Three.js-based framework written in Javascript/WebGL for visualizing 3D geospatial data.
It can connect to WMS/WMTS/TMS servers including elevation data and load many different data formats (3dTiles, GeoJSON, Vector Tiles, GPX and much more). A complete list of features and supported data formats is available on the wiki.
The official documentation is available here. It contains tutorials to help you start using iTowns, and an API reference. You can find more informations on its contribution here.
Official examples can be viewed here. Some examples available:
- Globe with WFS data
- Plane mode with Vector Tiles
- 3D effect using scene postprocessing
- Globe with split rendering
Clone the repo and then run:
npm install
npm start

You can use it through npm (the preferred way) or download a bundle from our github release page.
In your project:
npm install --save itownsThis package contains the ES5-compatible sources of iTowns.
If you're using a module bundler (like wepback), you can directly write
require('itowns') in your code.
Alternatively, we provide a bundle you can directly include in your html files
that exposes itowns in window:
<script src="node_modules/itowns/dist/itowns.js"></script>/!\ Please note that this bundle also contains the dependencies.
See our release page. Note that there isn't a lot of support for older version of iTowns, we highly recommand to use the last release everytime.
