Mapbox GL JS is a web mapping library based on WebGL. Using Mapbox GL JS for serving OpenMapTiles tileset is the most common use case.
Reference the Style
Create an HTML page and include the Mapbox GL JS viewer. You need to point the style to an HTTP endpoint of your Mapbox GL style specification JSON.

Use the OpenMapTiles styles
All OpenMapTiles styles can be referenced directly in a viewer.

Fonts and Sprites
Mapbox GL JS requires fonts being packaged as PBFs and symbols packaged as sprites. Check the Mapbox GL style specification documentation for OpenMapTiles to create your own fonts and sprites packages.
