API

A JavaScript API is also available:

Note: the command line tools are implemented using this API and offer the same functions.

Additional build instructions

There are additional ways to perform conversion:

• Tile converter can be run right on a repository branch. It might be helpful if some updates are needed which last release doesn't contain Build instructions.
• An autonomous bundle script can be built. It is entire converter in just 1 file. This file can be destributed directly to interested but not experienced user. See instructions.
