Abstract: Traditionally, WebGIS vector data visualization lack of unified standards in the browser and tile map loading
speed is slow. This paper introduces the newly HTML5 and GeoJSON technologies, and the method of using JavaScript
to portrayal GeoJSON data which contains geometry information on HTML5 Canvas in the application of lightweight
WebGIS, we designed a HTML5 Canvas client-side API for GeoJSON, then
