Release Notes

Note: We are reducing our investment in CARTO for React and currently we discourage users from starting new projects with it.

CARTO for React is an opinionated framework with pre-built components and templates. This greatly speeds up the process to create React-based applications, but customization options are limited.

If you need further customization in React, or you want to build geospatial applications using Vue, Angular, or any other Javascript-based framework, we recommend going directly to the main CARTO for Developers documentation, including CARTO + deck.gl, which allows for maximum flexibility and scalability.
