Why does eefolium use two plotting backends: folium and ipyleaflet?
A key difference between ipyleaflet and folium is that ipyleaflet is built upon ipywidgets and allows bidirectional communication between the front-end and the backend enabling the use of the map to capture user input, while folium is meant for displaying static data only (source). Note that Google Colab currently does not support ipyleaflet (source). Therefore, if you are using eefolium
with Google Colab, you should use import eefolium.eefolium as eefolium. If you are using eefolium with a local Jupyter notebook server, you can
use import eefolium, which provides more functionalities for capturing user input (e.g., mouse-clicking and moving).
