mapnik's high-quality bindings let's you choose from Node.js, Python, and C++.

import mapnik
m = mapnik.Map(256,256)
mapnik.load_map(m, "path/to/file.xml")
m.zoom_all()
mapnik.render_to_file(m, "the_image.png")
var mapnik = require("mapnik");
var fs = require("fs");
mapnik.register_default_fonts();
mapnik.register_default_input_plugins();
var map = new mapnik.Map(256, 256);
map.load("./test/stylesheet.xml", function(err, map) {
    map.zoomAll();
    var im = new mapnik.Image(256, 256);
    map.render(im, function(err, im) {
        im.encode("png", function(err, buffer) {
            fs.writeFile("map.png", buffer);
         });
    });
});

style with a stylesheet

Only a single XML stylesheet for your map, regardless of the code binding.
XML Configuration
<Map background-color="blue" srs="+init=epsg:4326">
  <Style name="My Style">
    <Rule>
      <PolygonSymbolizer fill="#f2eff9" />
      <LineSymbolizer stroke="rgb(50%,50%,50%)" stroke-width="0.1" />
    </Rule>
  </Style>
  <Layer name="world" srs="+init=epsg:4326">
    <StyleName>My Style</StyleName>
    <Datasource>
      <Parameter name="file">path/to/shapefile.shp</Parameter>
      <Parameter name="type">shape</Parameter>
