State of HTML 2025 [via Maps For HTML Community Group]

Want to shape the future of HTML? The State of HTML 2025 survey is live - and it includes a question about MapML and mapping on the web!



This survey directly influences which web platform features get prioritized by browser vendors and standards bodies. Your 15 minutes could help determine whether native web mapping becomes reality.



Through a series of saveable questions, the survey asks devs to document their use and knowledge of both existing HTML, as well as for new proposed features. Thanks to Lea, we were able to contribute a question into the survey's Content section that asks developers about MapML, and provides a close-to-default markup of what a MapML web map might look like in an excellent future HTML.



Try it yourself: Experience what the survey's native HTML maps could feel like with our interactive demo. Explore more possibilities in our documentation.



Take Action Now:




Fill out the survey (15 minutes)



Share it with your developer network



Especially encourage geospatial/mapping developers to participate




The survey closes August 1st 2025 - don't let this opportunity to influence web standards slip by.
