What is the difference between Leaflet and Mapbox, and how are they used together? Like the API and what exactly are they and is Mapbox using Leaflet?

3Welcome to GIS SE. I suggest you take a look at these two links. Mapbox is not specifically addressed in either, but they do contain info on Leaflet and many other APIs. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/8032/… gis.stackexchange.com/questions/13868/… Hopefully someone will answer here with more info on Mapbox – user3461 Sep 4 '12 at 11:58

Leaflet is a Javascript Map Client API - it requests images from services like MapBox and provides the panning / zooming experience you'd see in Google Maps or similar. You'd use the two together - MapBox provides tiles of maps, and Leaflet makes them usable in web pages.
