-A `zoom` expression is used to retrieve the current zoom level of the map at render time and is defined as `['zoom']`. This expression returns a number between the minimum and maximum zoom level range of the map. The Azure Maps interactive map controls for web and Android support 25 zoom levels, numbered 0 through 24. Using the `zoom` expression allows styles to be modified dynamically as the zoom level of the map is changed. The `zoom` expression can only be used with `interpolate` and `step` expressions.

-> If you're embedding a map inside a mobile application by using a WebView control, you might prefer to use the [npm package of the Azure Maps Web SDK] instead of referencing the version of the SDK that's hosted on Azure Content Delivery Network.
