OpenLayers is based on Pure javascript.
Example: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/
  • OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies.
  • OpenLayers is Free Software, developed for and by the Open Source software community.
  • It provides an API for building rich web-based geographic applications similar to Google Maps and Bing Maps.
  • OpenLayers is intended to separate map tools from map data so that all the tools can operate on all the data sources.
  • OpenLayers is used by OpenStreetMap project for its “Slippy Map” map interface. http://www.openstreetmap.org/
