openstreetmap-website

This is openstreetmap-website, the Ruby on Rails application that powers the OpenStreetMap website and API.

This repository consists of:

The XML- and JSON-based editing API.
The integrated version of the iD editor.
The Browse pages - a web front-end to the OpenStreetMap data.
The GPX uploads, browsing and API.

A fully-functional openstreetmap-website installation depends on other services, including map tile servers and geocoding services, that are provided by other software. The default installation uses publicly-available services to help with development and testing.
