-Note: if you use a large number of points (height or width ≥ 100), it may take a bit of time to compute the map (from 1 to 30 seconds depending on your device and number of points). This is why the result grid is cached. If you don't change the parameters of `new DottedMap`, the next maps will be a lot faster to generate. You can however change the pins and the SVG options.

+
+### Precomputing the map
+
+Because the previous operation can be expansive (especially if you want to use DottedMap in a browser or React Native app), it’s possible to precompute the grid. You will still be able to add pins on-the-fly, in real time. This also allows you to import a lighter version of the library. This is especially useful if you always use the same map parameters, but only change the pins.
+
+```js
+// So you do this first step only once, when developing your app
+const getMapJSON = require('dotted-map').getMapJSON;
+
+// This function accepts the same arguments as DottedMap in the example above.
+const mapJsonString = getMapJSON({ height: 60, grid: 'diagonal' });
+console.log(mapJsonString);
+
+// This string will contain everything about the grid. You will need to copy
+// and include it in your front.
+```
+
+```js
+// Now we are in your app, let’s imagine it’s a React app
+
+// This import doesn’t include coordinates of countries: it’s lighter
+// that 'dotted-map', so especially useful in fronts.
+// However, you must give it a map you have pre-computed before.
+import DottedMap from 'dotted-map/without-countries';
+
+// Basically myMap.js contains something like:
+//
+// const MyMapString = 'the string mapJsonString that you got on the first step';
+// export default MyMapString;
+import MyMapString from './myMap';
+
+const MyComponent = () => {
+  // It’s safe to re-create the map at each render, because of the
+  // pre-computation it’s super fast ⚡️
+  const map = new DottedMap({ map: JSON.parse(MyMapString) });
+
+  map.addPin({
+    lat: 40.73061,
+    lng: -73.935242,
+    svgOptions: { color: '#d6ff79', radius: 0.4 },
+  });
+
+  const svgMap = map.getSVG({
+    radius: 0.22,
+    color: '#423B38',
+    shape: 'circle',
+    backgroundColor: '#020300',
+  });
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <img src={`data:image/svg+xml;utf8,${encodeURIComponent(svgMap)}`} />
+    </div>
+  );
+};
+
+export default MyComponent;
+```
+
+That’s how you can display a super stylish map in your React webapp, without impacting the size of your bundle nor the performance of your app (browsers are very fast at rendering SVGs).
