Geo-mapping using Leaflet
Geo-mapping is the process of placing markers representing data in a geographic context, typically using latitude and longitude. Leaflet is an open source JavaScript library for building interactive geo-maps with ease. Why are we talking about a JavaScript mapping library in an R book? The R package leaflet is a wrapper around this JavaScript library that translates most of its functionality into a set of R functions. It allows analysts to visualize geospatial data easily. With this package, you can generate maps from within RStudio or embed them in R Markdown documents or Shiny web applications.
