Raster tile providers
This is a list of online raster tile servers based on OpenStreetMap data.
See Servers/tile for the names of the physical servers that serve openstreetmap.org's map tiles.
See Servers/Tile CDN for description of tile servers maintained by OSM and how one may donate new server to it.${x} and ${y} should be replaced with the x and y tile numbers.
${z} should be replaced with the zoom level.
{s} should be replaced by a subdomain. The exact values are in the tile server's documentation, but typically it is a single letter a, b, c and usually corresponds to Leaflet's {s} parameter[1]. Subdomains are used to help with browser parallel requests per domain limitation (not needed if the webserver uses http/2), so consider switching letters at runtime (similar to JOSM's url template construct {switch:a,b,c}).
