react-map-gl VS InterpolateHeatmapLayer

I use this heavily https://visgl.github.io/react-map-gl/ and it's amazing for building complex maps with rich overlays, but you won't get a search box for countries out of the box.

And it points to version 6.1 documentation at https://github.com/visgl/react-map-gl/tree/6.1-release/docs

To display the data on a map let's install the ReactMapGL component.

I'm working on a React app with a mapbox component and am trying to understand the use case for react-map-gl vs the examples on the Mapbox site that just use mapbox-gl. From the React GitHub issues they mention this in regards to performance -

react-map-gl - is a solution from uber, perhaps the most sophisticated among others, one of the main drawbacks: Steep learning curve, having sufficiently rich functionality, including for managing state, it is rather difficult to understand the library api Has almost 1MB bundle size, which is quite a lot

React-map-gl docs

mapbox is used to create high-quality maps and react-map-gl is a wrapper around mapbox for react.

framebufferFactor: number between 0 and 1. In short, if the framebuffer factor is around 0, the computation will be faster but less accurate and the opposite if it's around 1. The default value is 0.3. Take a look at the readme file of the GitHub project if you want to know what exactly this parameter is.
