Interactive map and data use through the implementation of a tool

Abstract

In this work presents the development of an interactive map of the Estado de México on a website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Initially, the SVG format was used to represent the map, with the progress of the project the Leaflet API was incorporated through the UNPKG site to allow improved interactivity in the map. To show detailed political divisions, a GeoJSON file with geospatial coordinates of the state's municipalities was used. This file not only included coordinates, but also additional information such as names, codes, population and other attributes, enriching the map representation. The main objective of the project is to provide users with access to filtered data from each municipality with information obtained from the INE/INEGI through an accessible and visually attractive website. A balance was maintained between the implementation of functionalities and the needs of users, guaranteeing the efficiency of the platform.
