" summary

An open‑source web‑map framework called Bootleaf replaces legacy Flex/Silverlight maps for IAG, loading in about one second and handling 50–60 layers without slowing. It uses ESRI Leaflet plus Leaflet and Bootstrap, supports ArcGIS Server, GeoServer, WMS, WFS, tiled and GeoJSON layers, clustering, spatial bookmarks, CSV export and a sharable URL of map state. Configuration lives in a config file, advanced tools include an identify widget and pre/post load hooks, it’s extensible and repeatedly redeployed for different maps.
